Cathy Cat from the cage on the ceiling (!) of the girly pink room by using
point'n'clickery to trash the room and find the 6 coloured gems that fit into the lock on the cat's cage. I'm not sure what language the game is in, but it's still easy to complete without understanding a word. Old hands at
point'n'click games can also play the sub-game (of my own invention) of guessing which classic game the sound effects were from originally [

Use your
point'n'click skills in
The Thief 2 to escape the prison. Playable in English, or Russian if you want an additional challenge! Also try the
original episode if you haven't already [

Unfortunately the time limit on
Treasure Hunters (a tie-in with some television series on
NBC I have never seen) has expired so you cannot win the cash prizes anymore, but the game is still worth playing for the challenge (unless you are totally money driven of course). The game is a curious mix of
point'n'click (with some nice graphics and sound), and puzzles (involving some web searching), and really works quite well. The idea of course is to find the treasure, but you'll have to satisfy yourself with the virtual, rather than real, kind. Note registration is required if that puts you off playing a game, but it seems harmless from my experience [

The
TV Guide (UK) web site
is not a guide to the transvestites of Great Britain, but
is a very useful (if you are in the UK like I am), and neatly implemented, on-line televsion guide. All the major channels are shown, including the popular satellite/cable channels, with the option to add other channels of your choice, in an easy to read and understand time grid, showing 3 hours at a time. Now I can finally optimize what little televsion viewing time I get so I can view the maximum number of crime dramas (they are
so addicting). A very useful site to bookmark.
Speed Test is a nice little graphical flash tool that will measure the speed of your internet connection for you, for both downloads and uploads, if you are interested in that sort of thing (I am sadly), or if you want to check whether the figures your ISP gave you are anywhere near accurate [

You are all getting too good at
point'n'click games people. At first they were happy with trapping us in a room and making it tricky to escape. But increasingly these days they are putting ten locks on the thing so that requires us finding 10 keys. Latest in line in this genre is
Escape 3 which is damn tricky. Can you find all the keys and escape the basement? Can you even start? [

The Legacy Of Pliskin returns, with some nicer graphics, in the logically titled
point'n'click sequel
The Legacy Of Pliskin 2. My only top tip is totally unrelated to completing the game - leave the game for a while to make him play with his
PSP. Weird [

A while back
Swiss Thomas got me addicted to his version of
Mahjongg Solitaire, and I'm already addicted to
sudoku (wiki description), so I can see a whole heap of time disappearing into his version of
sudoku [

OK Go - Here It Goes Again is silly, silly, silly and I love it for it, whether it's technically not musical Friday or not. *Checks double negatives*. That
is what I meant [

Grow Nano V1 replaces the speed clicking action of
Grow Nano V0 with a hunt'n'click style to test out your
point'n'click skills. Play all the way to the end to get an animated reward [

The
Grow Series continues with a fun little diversion
Grow Nano V0. It's more of a speed clicking contest than a
point'n'click game, but I'm sure my shiny new laser mouse is more than up to the job [

In
Dracula's Riddle you have to "defeat" the evil count Dracula. To do this you have to venture through Transylvania by solving numerous riddles (more than 80). Some of the riddles are puzzles, some are brainteasers, for some riddles you have to use google to get knowledge etc. To solve it all intelligence, creativity and persistance is required [
