Breakout

August 15th 2008 02:47
Breakout is a classic PC game first developed in 1976. Since then there have been numerous improvements and spin-offs such as Brickout, Super Breakout, Breakout 2000 and many more.
All games work on the same principle. There are layers of bricks on the top of the screen, and a ball which bounces around and destroys bricks it hits. The player has a paddle down the bottom to keep bouncing the ball back up. If the ball hits the floor, the player looses a life.
There are of course many variations, common ones include bricks taking a certain number of hits to be destroyed and being worth different points, plus bonuses such as paddle size increasing, extra paddles or even extra balls

Bookworm

August 13th 2008 02:23
Bookworm is a word puzzle game. To play you connect letters to form words in the grid. When you form a word those letters will vanish and the remaining letters collapse down. Like in Scrabble you earn more points for forming longer words and using less common letters.
Click on letters to link them into words, then click 'submit' to have the bookworm chomp the letters. Beware of burning tiles, if they reach the floor it's game over!
If you get stuck, click on Bookworm to scramble all the letters, but it will come at a cost with more and more flaming tiles coming down

Sportbike Sprint

August 11th 2008 12:58
Sportbike Sprint is a very smooth moving motorbike racing and stunt game. To play use the arrow keys to steer, accelerate and brake the bike. You can also use 'z' to drift around corners and 'x' to do a wheelie. Remember to stop accelerating when doing a wheelie else the bike will topple over backwards!
There are a number of bikes to choose from, and you can play in either stunt or race mode. In race mode you will take on computer opponents, and you must win the race to unlock the next track. In stunt mode you must score a certain number of points to proceed.
Like all good racing games it will take some practice to get used to the handling. Remember not to take the corners too fast
