Flashing back the bits

Filed under: General — 19day @ 20:59:00

Here is yet another list of flash games I’ve come across that I’ve enjoyed. One common thread is that they all have graphics reminiscent of atari or merely pixilated quality.

Story Teller – by Daniel Benmergui. Not so much a game (but the first 4 aren’t really games exactly) but an essay in this genre, which I don’t know how to describe. Basically arrange the universe at each stage to see the various outcomes.

I Wish I were the Moon – again by Daniel Benmergui. The same sort of thing, but more options, and weirdly heartfelt. For blocky characters.

Today I Die – again by Daniel Benmergui. And again the same method of interaction, only 2 endings this time. This one seems more angsty to me, but still nice.

Majesty of Colors – Similar to the ones above but by a different guy. Many endings and more game-like, but thematically similar.

Don’t Look Back – A definite game, apparently based on the Greek story of Orpheus. Except instead of a musical instrument, you have a gun. Altogether a nice flash game showing the futility of love, the inevitability of death, and the non-necessity of amazing graphics to tell a story.

Games are fun.
