Two Great Games

First up is "Spin The Black Circle," a simple flash game that is simply devious. It starts out easy, has some catchy music, and a simple interface. After the first few levels, you feel good about yourself, and then it gets hard, and you think Screw this, I'm going home... after I finish this level. So you work and work, and eventually finish the level, only to be greeted by another one. Holy fuck, that looks complicated! Well, I just want to see what this one is like...

Say goodbye to five or six hours, friend.

The second game is a little less... abstract. "Off-Road Raptor Safari" features an indestructible jeep, complete with a Triceratops skull and a boulder-sized mace. And a whole mess of feather velociraptors. Featuring a plot right out of Bad Taste, you have to harvest as many 'raptors as you can (to make food in the future) by ramming into them with your jeep, and then hooking them with your spiked ball.

Once you get past the carnage, it is awesome.

The game uses a custom engine you have to install, but it hasn't crashed my system yet, so it seems okay. The graphics and look remind me a lot of Pangea Software's "Nanosaur," a great game that came bundled with a lot of Macs back in the day.


[ Speaking of Bad Taste... enjoy! ]
