Funny Farm is a nice web implementation of a word association game, which has a simplistic feel to it at first glance, but is really so much trickier, and very addiciting. You start with one phrase "On The Farm", and then type in the words you associate with that phrase, if they match up with those in the game they appear on the "word web" (for want of a better phrase) in green. You can see the start of my game in the pic above (strict non-cheaters look away now), but there are a whole 24 more additional screens after this, all linked together, so I don't think I'm spoiling too much. I'm thinking that this one is going to take some time to complete, so the save game, and even collaborate game, features will no doubt come in handy [

Bart's
last few games have included some very enjoyable logic puzzles, but
Loose The Moose returns to our perennial favourite game style - "
Escape The Room" (that's not to say there aren't some
point'n'click puzzles to solve though), whilst keeping his familiar, and rather nice, graphical style. Reading in between the lines of the game title I'm guessing that at some point during the course of our quest that we have to
loose the moose, judging by the size of the hole in the wall though, I'm assuming it's the small squeaky kind, rather than the large antlery kind. I'm prepared to be proved wrong though. Anyway, I have to go play now... [

Point'n'Click your way through the clues to discover
Who Killed Roland Johnson. You can't beat a good bit of sleuthing on a Wednesday I always say. Well I do now anyway... [

Beans is a short, but savoury (pun alert!),
point'n'click adventure.
Post a walkthru, I dare you... [

Pepere.org is home to a suite of unusual, but rather nice, arcade games, and their latest, "
Crazy Mammoths" (click on the pic to play), is no exception. Controlling the game is "easy", or "totally unsatisfactory" if you are a control freak (don't look at
me like that), as you only need your [SPACE BAR] to jump and that's it. There are no other controls. Simple (?). The aim of the game is to slide your mammoth down the ice slope the fastest (yes I am aware it's virtually June and ice slopes are in short supply -
do I look bovvered?). Insane, but possibly dull? Then try the four player game, which will have you, and three friends, crowded around your keyboard (breaking it). Please forward submissions for keyboard repairs to
Pepere.org, and not me. Ta! [

The Apothecary of Ostia is the nice looking, nice sounding, but easy to play (it's intended for kids though), second instalment of
The BBC's
Roman Mysteries point'n'click series [

Incognitus Asleep in the Deep sees you trapped in a room that's filling with water and has faulty electrical connections on the wall. Using your
point'n'click skills to
escape the room as quickly as possible would seem to be a wise course of action...

In
TLFMER 2 our goal, once again, is to
escape the room, which is a goal we all know and love from many a
point'n'click game played. This one has more pictures of ducks than your normal game though, and why not? I'm always bemoaning the lack of duck pictures in these things. Anyway, I have only just started playing this one, but it's obvious, even to a fool like me, that at some point we're going to need a door or window or some such, unless we find some magic powers to get us out. And finally, if you like this game you can also try
TLFMER or
Head Fi from the same author [

Explore the
Old Castle, find an artefact, and leave a dangerous vault, all with only your trusty
point'n'click skills to guide you. Before all that though, there's the small matter of getting into the castle to attend to... oh, and waiting for the thing to load, which seemed to take ages, for reasons I couldn't work out [

The Vision Test is another one of those seemingly easy multiple choice quiz games (a bit like
Impossible Quiz). Easy until you get one wrong and look like an idiot that is. What can I say? I got distracted, it wasn't my fault. Honest. Anyway, the graphics in this one are terrible, but aesthetics aren't really why you play these kind of games, and anyway it's more than made up for by the best soundtrack ever. I am going to be singing
that all day now [

Hot out of my inbox is news from
JB (creator of the
Jack French games) of the start of his new
point'n'click game series, "
Agent Scarecrow". Judging by the links on
the page - not all active yet - there are going to be three chapters in total, but for now just
Chapter 1 - The Birth Of Scarecrow is a available to play. And I gather from the, frustratingly "to be continued" style, end of this episode (I couldn't resist playing thru to the end before I posted) there will be two versions of Chapter 2 when it comes out, depending upon who you decide to call in the final sequence of this chapter, which I guess means we will all be playing thru this one at least twice :) Anyway over to
JB for his description of the game:
Agent Scarecrow - Chapter 1 - now available.
Mike is your average 20-year old guy. One day, Mike is mistaken for a
secret agent and gets involved in a crazy adventure. Along the
storyline, Mike gets to travel around the World... with little time to
make friends.
Agent Scarecrow, is a "choose your own" actionventure game. i.e. it
combines
point-and-click elements with fighting and shooting scenes.
Also, your decisions will dictate the course of the story.
