ZED

Guide Zed to his ulti­mate dream, to pos­sess a space­suit made entirely of gold. Okay, so the premise sounds kind of odd but rest assured this Flash game is a fun diver­sion and fea­tures col­or­ful graph­ics and a great side-scrolling engine.

THE LANDER

Use your arrow keys (much like Zed above) to con­trol a tiny alien space­craft. The object of this game is to lift off from a pad and land on well, a land­ing pad. Wow. Makes sense, don’t it? The lit­tle guy reminds me of the Aliens in The Simp­sons, usu­ally mis­taken as Mormons.

CHASM

This is a cool one. Reminds me of the point-and-click Lucasarts Clas­sics from ages ago (yeah, about 5–6 years actu­ally). Games like Full Throt­tle, Sam and Max Hit the Road, Maniac Man­sion (and DOTT), and last but not least Grim Fan­dango with Manny Calevera. “What now?”

“My kid needs another bal­loon animal.”

Any­ways, Chasm fea­tures a duck that must make his way through a chasm. I love sim­ple games. The won­der­ful aspect of this game is the atten­tion to detail and the charm. Granted, because it’s sim­ple doesn’t mean it’s easy. It’s hard to explain how cool this game really is. You just have to point-and-click for yourself.

That’s all, folks.
