Scrabulous

January 28th 2008 13:22

Scrabulous is an online gaming site for playing the word game Scrabulous, based on the highly popular board game, Scrabble. Launched in 2005 and added to Facebook as an application in 2007, Scrabulous was founded by Rajat and Jayant Agarwalla, both commerce graduates of St. Xavier's College, Kolkata. While Scrabulous initially offered only the regular version of the game, many variations and options have gradually been made available. The "Brothers," as they are commonly referred to on the game's Facebook group, are open to users' suggestions to improve the game.

The website has 20,000 registered users, but after the developers made an application for the popular social networking website Facebook it has been added to 840,000 user pages and more than 500,000 daily users, giving it "the most active users of any game that can be played over Facebook".

To play Scrabulous, add it as an applicaiton on Facebook, or visit the official site here.

Mario and Luigi

January 25th 2008 10:55

As you know all official Mario games have been made for Nintendo consoles and hand helds, not PCs, but that didn't stop Mark Wiering of Wiering Software making one in 1994.
This game has all the recognisable features of a classic Mario game with the graphics, moves, enemies and levels you know plus a few new ones. Mario fans new and old will love it and it's available to download and play for free from Dos Games online here.

Battle Chess

January 23rd 2008 10:35

Battle Chess is a computer game version of chess in which the chess pieces come to life and battle one another when capturing. The game itself was inspired by the 3D chess sequences from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope and Futureworld.

There are 35 animations including movement, prelude to battle, and the combinations of battle itself (the latter often being rather brutal). The rook, for example, turns into a rock monster and kills a pawn by crushing him. Some battle sequences like Knight versus Knight or King versus Bishop are direct references to the black knight fight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail and the short battle between Indiana Jones and a swordsman in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

The game can be played against a human opponent or against the computer's artificial intelligence (AI). The game has an opening library from over 30,000 moves.

You can now download and play the classic version of Battle Chess for free from DosGamesOnline here.

Power of 10

January 16th 2008 09:29

Power of 10 is a new game show taking off in America, Australia and other countries around the world. If you don't know how it works, well here are the rules in detail:

In the first round two contestants try to predict the results of poll questions, based on surveys similar to the ones used on Family Feud and Card Sharks (e.g. What percentage of Americans said they believe in ghosts?) in a best-of-five elimination round. After the question is read, each contestant has 10 seconds to lock in an answer. If they do not lock in an answer the computer will lock in the percentage they are currently on. The player who comes closer to the actual percentage earns a point. The first player to earn three points wins the round and goes to the money round to play for $10,000,000
