Awesome Games: Cursed Treasure

Posted: May 11th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: flash games, games, video games | No Comments »

I found the awesomest tower defense game called Cursed Treasure. You have to stop the baddies from grabbing your jewels. This means that you get two chances to annihilate them- once on their way to the gems and once on the way back (if they make it that far). This game saves your progress and allows you to upgrade your towers and other stats… which is enough to keep me coming back like a stubborn case of eczema . I’ve pretty much beat the game at this point, so if anything, I might say that the game is a touch too easy, but I have been at it for about a week now, and I’m pretty good at tower defense games. So what are you waiting for? Play it now!


Atari Hooks It Up With Arcade Classics, Tech Bloggers Can’t Even Give Them A Backlink In Return!

Some of you old codgers might remember a tiny startup called ATARI. They have launched a shiny new site with a handful of absolutely free arcade classics and atari 2600 titles. What really blows my mind is that I had to link-hop three times to find an actual link to the Atari website. I’m pretty sure that this kind of stinginess is bad for your health, and if there was a way for doctors to check for it, then life insurance rates would shoot through the roof for these guys… I’m not going to name name, but shame on you for not linking to Atari while waxing poetic about how excited you are to be playing their games for free on their site.

Can I get a What-What for Kotaku, who actually linked back to the Atari website.


USB Mouse/Game Pad Is Novel

So there you are in the office, dying of boredom and suffering from your typical after lunch stupor. Surely there is some way you can alleviate this funk that you’re in. Sure, you could pretend to make some copies, drink some coffee or flirt with the lady in the mail room, but none of those provide the action and satisfaction that you need. Except for the mail room lady… gretchen. Her hands look so strong, she could probably crush a walnut! Sounds a little too dangerous for my tastes. Hey, if you like having your privates bruised, that’s your prerogative.

So what’s my solution, you ask? A mouse. That’s right. A mouse that also happens to be a gamepad in disguise. Not only can you get your video game fix, but you can pretend that you’re playing with a transformer as well. Then, if you’re boss comes around, you can quickly fold it up… don’t worry, you’re secret is safe with me. Both the mouse and Gretchen.
