Wild
Tangent is a software company that makes
neat-o free games that can be played using
Internet Explorer or
Netscape Navigator. They have pretty nice
3D graphics and are free (did I say that twice).
They name a number of games including:
Pig Pen - a
PacMan rip off starring a pig
Space Rocks - alla
Asteroids
Gem Master - sort of
Columns but better
Reversi -
Go
Checkers
Gin
Spades
Hearts
Track Meet
Front 9 - golf simulator
I just downloaded an
araknoid clone , a boxing simulator called
Totally Live Boxing, and a road racing game...
Let you know how they go in a cuple of hours.
They also make
screen savers and some visual
plug-ins for
Sonique and
Winamp, but I'm all about their compact (1.7-3.5MB) games, which come for free, but have
banner ads.
