I'm looking for fun games that I probably wouldn't know about, that are just somewhat simple and fun to play. Games that are just fun to play when bored like snood.

    Pretty much anything from ambrosia software is great!



    Barrack was one of my favorites.



    Also, nothing beats a good game of tetris

    MaciGame. The different size options make it nice to choose the right game for the amount of time you need to fill.

    I would download an updated version of the 8-bit classic Head Over Heels or visitOrisinalfor a selection of deeply cutesy, but entertaining Game & Watch style attempts.

    Does anybody know of an OS X native version of the classic game ARTILLERY? That is one of my all-time favorite Apple ][ games.

    Right, orisinal is great, simple, harmless fun, and some good music too!

    http://www.spidweb.com/ - Spiderweb Software



    Classic role playing games and web forums for feedback since 1994. Now Mac/PC/Linux.

    The Exile series was hours and hours of fun back in the day with huge demos to explore.

    Nethergate is Celts vs Romans, so if you're in a Blue paint mood or hail from Brittania...

    Of the newer 3D games, Homeland (PC only) was the first I'd seen with a dog as playable character.



    Many of the games use a similar engine and familiar controls and perspective, so learning curve is small, but the breadth of vision, graphic detail and multiple plots make many of these games award winners.



    looks like they've posted some new ones since my last visit.

    there goes my productivity this evening.\



    and I echo the endorsement of anything by Ambrosia



    Maelstrom rules... Asteroids clone with Cartoon channel audio clips... you eediot!

    EV Nova and its offshoots are awesome. Space pirates and multiple plotlines.

    Uplink was novel, but seemed sluggish on my old iBook... maybe Panther will have helped.



    now I'm definitely not getting much done tonight.
