The Ultimate Insult

Backspace is another streaming site with a pretty random selection of channels. The quality’s ok, but the movie channel there was showing something particularly grainy without sound. Who knows. Free Weather Channel, yay!

Raiden X, a tribute to the arcade originals.

If you’re into old pulp stories, this site has a lot of them scanned in the Acrobat format, images included.

Sveerz: match the sounds in order while trying to clear the colored balls. It’s Simon meets one of those three-in-a-row games.

Music You (Possibly) Won’t Hear Anyplace Else is in the midst of a “Roots of Elvis” series that’s interesting. The site has some interesting rarities if you dig back a little bit.

It’s a long loader, but Jaguar Urban Golf is decent enough for a corporate sponsored game. Golf in an urban environment, hence the name.

Diner Dash is one of those games that starts making you a little frantic as you play. Fast paced would be a good description. Choose “endless shift” for the online version.

GI Joe Comics from the 1970’s, including .wav files of the audio from the Peter Pan book/record sets.

Leo Steel and the Aztek Gold is a one button game where you just press up to jump. It’s pretty hard by level 5 or so. Good one.

Advertisements covered up in yellow is what delete! is comprised of. Pretty crazy looking. An English-language article on the display can be found here.

Radford University students have compiled information and statistics to create some interesting Serial Killer Timelines. It’s a mix of html, Adobe Acrovat and Word documents, so be prepared.

This website for the old radio program, Mercury Theatre, would be great if the downloads weren’t so slow. Maybe everyone’s downloading War of the Worlds which broke the server.

Alpha Force is a decent, side-scrolling shooter with the usual powerups.

Crazy Bike is an Excitebike rip that confuses me a bit. I can’t figure out how to move without having the engine overheat.

There’s even more strange conspiracy fun over at the Reptilian Agenda.

Sorry about the lack of posts today, it’s been a little hectic. Back to normal tomorrow.

Soul Asylum’s bassist, Karl Mueller, dies at 41. That really sucks.

Reaktor: clear the colors while spinning around.

The Salem Witch Trials website has a lot of interesting things, including court transcripts of the trials.

I love Wikipedia, and their page of people widely considered eccentric has links to some interesting bios.
