Why these
Remakes of the games that lived on office hard drives in the early nineties, usually in a folder called GAMES that nobody admitted to creating. Same charm, same unforgiving difficulty, no emulator, no config.sys. They run in a browser tab and your scores are saved there too.
Expect sharp edges: one hit ends a run, the balls really are that fast, and the wind in Gorillas is exactly as unfair as you remember. Pro, Expert and Junior are levels we set from playing the remakes; the Expert is the kinder number the Daily Game asks for.
- Tetris The purest five-minute reset there is: one more line, then back to work.
- Columns Tetris’s jewelled cousin: one stick, three colours, and a chain reaction waiting in every landing.
- Boulder Dash Eight caves of gravity, greed and very heavy rocks. Dig out from under one and it falls.
- Firefighter A DOS-era flying game where the only thing on fire is the forest, not your calendar.
- Air Mail Sopwith-style loops and a delivery route you can actually finish before lunch.
- Sopwith The DOS biplane war from the office PC: bomb the front, dogfight, and make it home on fumes.
- Xonix Claim territory one careful cut at a time. Greed is punished instantly.
- Color Lines Turn-based and unhurried. Your game saves itself when the meeting starts.
- Pipe Mania A calm puzzle on a slow fuse: the flooz waits for no one, though it does give you a head start.
- Digger The 1983 CGA classic: dig, grab, and never stand under a wobbling bag of gold.
- Alley Cat The 1984 PC classic: a back alley, a room behind every open window and a dog that hates cats.
- Paratrooper One turret, endless helicopters, and a score that punishes wasted bullets.
- Gorillas The QBasic classic. Pass the keyboard and settle the standup properly.
- Scorched Earth The 1991 shareware classic: hills that cave in, a baby nuke and a colleague who swears the wind changed.
- Sokoban Twenty-four original warehouses, from a two-push warm-up to proper head-scratchers. Undo is free.
- Lode Runner Twenty original levels of gold, ladders and guards. You can’t jump, so you dig.
