How will Graeme describe
Horse Room Escape? Will he:
(a). Say nothing useful about the game?
(b). Mention how disappointed he is that he has a picture of a kitchen rather than a horse?
(c). Say that
escape the room fans should find it
neigh bother?
(d). Randomly start singing a horse related tune?
(e). Link to a
lovely horse song on Youtube?
(f). All of the above?
If you answered (f), you can, of course, pat yourself on the back for knowing me so well. And with that all that remains for me to say is... *ahem*...
"
A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
And no one can talk to a horse of course
That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mister Ed".
Thank you. I believe my work here is done [

Backroom Institute is a Japanese
escape the room game. I believe you are probably familiar with
the drill for these by now? Scroll to the bottom of the
linked page to start playing [

Apparently it's surreal game Wednesday and I never got the memo. Whilst
Get Lost gave us a strange adventure game,
Take1 : When Harry Met Sally gives us a bizarre arcade game. The aim is to clear the screen by clicking items. Be prepared to click a lot. And I mean
a lot. And if you want bonus points (by clicking items you have already clicked before they disappear) be prepared to click even more than that. That's a whole lot of clicking [

Get Lost is a ridiculous
point'n'click "adventure" from the same people who brought you the, also ridiculous,
Which Way Adventure. If you don't want to get seriously frustrated I suggest you place your tongue firmly in your cheek before playing and be prepared to start over from the beginning more than once [

Catapult To Krustyland may be is a shameless rip off of
other catapulting style games (and I think it would even admit that), but flinging things Simpsons style has the kind of appeal I enjoy. Will your attempt be
D'oh or
Woohoo!? Post your scores in
the comments and let us know. The
main site promoting the new
Simpsons Ride is also fun too (ok then - fun for Simpsons addicts at least), so check it out.
In "
Where To Go?" you have to find the "right path" for a little cat like creature to follow though a series of binary choices with amusing consequences if you pick the wrong path. Which is good as it gives you something nice to look at when it goes wrong. And it will go wrong, oh yes - it will. Especially once you realize that the "right path" seems to randomly change each time you play, so you can't even "learn" the game. Frustration ahoy!
Before playing
Around The World In 80 Days let me warn you that this game
really really wants you to buy the download-able full version of the game, with multiple opportunities given to fork out your cash every few minutes. If that kind of thing annoys you don't even bother clicking
the link. I have the patience of a saint but it even started to annoy me.
Anyway, if you can put up with the download intrusions (keep pressing 'play' rather than 'download') there is actually a lot to play for free online in
the game, and it's an addictive little arcade block swapping game in which you try and free various items trapped in each level. And when I say addictive, I mean it. I couldn't tear myself away. But if you do have to leave for a while for something relatively unimportant like eating or sleeping, it remembers where you were, which is a nice touch. It even has a storyline (
Phileas Fogg, blah, blah ,blah), but that is a little incidental to the whole thing.
Of course ultimately you'll end up swearing out loud as the free version ends "mid game", and you'll want to play more, but maybe you'll actually buy the thing? Or maybe you'll be like me and move on to the next free game, and spend that money saved on a couple of
six packs.
Enjoy, either way. *hic*
Whilst the premise of
Rich Man is easy to understand, it's a simple case of "spot the difference" with some rather cute graphics, the name is a little incomprehensible. Why "
Rich Man"? What's up with that? Although it does give me the opportunity for
a little sing-a-long which I always enjoy... *ahem*: "
If I were a rich man. Yubby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dum..." [

Button Hunt 2 is an ideal practice arena for absent minded tailors and possibly
point'n'click fans [

Happy is very aptly named. Aptly named if randomly clicking around a game whilst Japanese text you can't read appears in front of you makes you happy that is. If, however, it takes
tequila to make you happy, you might want to skip this one [
