find matching pairs of blocks that have a clear path between
them. You are scored based on the length of that
path. Can you find the pair with the longest path

Nineball Solitaire
Rated 5/6 on Nonags
Top Software Award at DownloadTube.com
"Nineball Solitaire - fun and
intuitive version of the popular Solitaire
game with a new billiards
look."
- Editor
at DownloadTube.com
Check out the rules for this Fast Eddie
original solitaire game on the Board/Card Games
Page.
Nineball Solitaire is a solitaire game of my own
invention. It is a more strategic version of solitaire
with a billiards theme. You must think ahead in order to
not get stuck and clear each 'rack' of cards. How many
racks can you run? That will depend on a little luck and
a good dose of strategic thinking.

Cluster
Rated 5/5 on Freewareweb
Rated 4/6 on Nonags
In Cluster you drive a bulldozer and
your job is to push blocks around so that they all touch eachother.
Sounds easy, but there is a catch. Once blocks touch,
they fuse together, making them tougher to move around the
oddly shaped rooms. Cluster comes with 50 challenging
levels, and a level editor, for you to make and share your own
levels.
If you enjoy Cluster and design any of
your own levels that you would like to share, please go to the
Contact page and send them to me so
that I can post them for all to enjoy.
Chameleon
Rated 5/6 on Nonags
Chameleon is a strategy game inspired by
the boardgame
Reversi. Like Reversi, you are
trying to have more orbs of your color on the board than any
of the other colors. The difference with this game is
that you can play with up to four players, and there are
computer controlled AI players. Also, there are several
different board layouts, not just the plain square setup.
Liar's Dice
Rated 4/5 on Freewareweb
Rated 5/6 on Nonags
Liar's dice is a classic dice game that
is all about luck and bluffing. It is a one player game
with a computer AI opponent. Can you outwit, outbluff, and outroll the
computer? You'll need to if you want to win this
game.

Cave Dudes
Rated 4/6 on Nonags
Rated 5/5 on Filebuzz
Cave Dudes is all about primitive
warfare. You are a caveman on one side of a hill, and
you pick up and throw rocks at your enemy on the other side of
the hill. Cave Dudes is four games in one. It has
a strategy mode and an arcade mode for one or two
players. In the strategy mode you choose the power and
angle for your throws as you chuck rocks over the hill.
In the arcade mode you just pick up and hurl rocks as fast as
you can before you get nailed by the other guy. Rocks
bad. Cavedudes good.
