Millions of Games 79
duncangough writes "With the recent rise in popularity of casual games and the seemingly established presence of community bookmarking sites such as del.icio.us, Millionsofgames.com is one of the first websites to provide an amalgamation of these two themes.
MOG is a social bookmarking service for flash, shockwave and java games although any type of game can be added, such a MMORPGs or downloadable games like Zuma and Bejewelled."

I'll be posting plenty of games there and tagging them accordingly. Jewel Thief [playaholics.com], for starters, is a great little game.

None of these fancy-schmancy social information tools are anything that we can't recreate with our own slashdot moderation system! In fact, with enough work, I believe we can build a full gaming engine out of comment threads.
I vote that we put the next red pixel at (14,220). If you disagree, moderate accordingly.
(Soldat [soldat.prv.pl] is a lot of fun, though it is a download)

Again, it's a download, but there are both Windows and Linux versions.

Meanwhile, there is a while world of games outside of these; games like World of Warcraft and Counter Strike and all of those other trendy teen games.
So while Mame may be a great gaming system, it is far from all-inclusive, and there will always be a taste for a game that Mame can't provide.

They're all arcade games. Yeah they're a blast, but I can't play them at work. The banging on the keyboard is a dead giveaway - only faster way to summon the boss is with a flare gun.
That's why the little dinky Java strategy and card games are good.

Why not join up and start adding games that you like, then tagging then as 'can play in my office really quietly'?

Another good trick is to get a dinky 256mb usb drive and stick emulators on it. Like WinUAE. Plenty of good old non-arcade games for the Amiga out there, and the emulator lets you pick your screen size (good for being sneaky). Head to www.back2roots.org for abandonware and other legal to use games.

Then perhaps this website isn't targetted towards you? (HINT: You're not the center of the internet).
As for disliking Flash, I make my comics in flash (exported to png) so it would be rather silly of me to keep it off my computer.

Casual games are getting huge. My first ral foray into them is Atlantis - http://www.funpause.com/ [funpause.com]. This title is doing really good, but the bar is getting really high and it's getting really difficult for new entrants.

Social bookmarking is a pretty cool concept that should be applied to many more things, obviously. Even though it takes more coding effort (especially to block cheaters), people are still hard at work coding such sites.
