Sancho Panza Rules

Being a Quixote fan, I had to post this link, Sancho's Island. It's a point and click game based on Cervante's story, only from Sancho's perspective. It's pretty fun.

Cricket Games Online

Here are some of the cricket games I've found, in no particular order. There are some others I've played, but can't remember where on the web they were located.

Cricket Bowling

Cricket Sloggin'

The Ashes Tabletop game

Slog Out, etc...

Venerable Stick Cricket

Classic Stick Cricket as the Aussies in the Ashes

Classic Stick Cricket as England in the Ashes

I'm somewhat partial to the tabletop-cricket game. Although you can only play 4 overs, and must get 11 wickets to be all-out, it allows you to move your fielders, and that makes it more complete, to me. There was another, more complete and complicated cricket game I played a couple of times, but I can't remember where I found it.

Andkon Arcade

Lots of flash games and time wasting items can be found here. I remember a lot of these games from the last few years. Some are newer; some bring back fond memories.

Pandemic!

I assumed, at first, that my task in this game, like most games, was to save the world. In this case, from a pandemic disease. Wrong. Unlike most normal games, the objective of this game is to wipe out humanity. It's frighteningly fun.

Linden Millions

Probably a year or so ago, I joined an online game called 'Second Life'. I wasn't able to log on to it at work, so it dropped off my radar. A while back I noticed an article on it in Popular Science. It mentioned that the currency of Second Life, called Linden Dollars, was exchangable with US Dollars. I thought that was neat, but it didn't inspire me to want to play the game.

Then, a month or two ago, I read a new article about a woman who had made the first million in Linden dollars. I thought it was a mistake. But it wasn't. She traded virtual real estate in the game until she had a quarter of a billion Linden dollars. That's exchangable for over a million REAL US Dollars! That got my attention, but still... I figured it would be hard to exchange that. Wrong.

Second Life has a money exchange... the LINDEX. It trades over a million US Dollars a day! And there are several 3rd party Linden Dollar exchanges! You have to be a member to login, but it's easy and free to join.

I don't think I'll be investing in Linden Dollars any time soon, but it is interesting.
