Pac Match Party online game

I've gotten Pac-Man fever all over again upon discovering this highly addictive online puzzle game from Namco. All you have to do is flip the images of pac-man, the ghost monsters, treats to match 3 or more of the same kind. Upon matching 3 symbols of presents, you get a special ability to destroy rows and colums of ghost monsters and pacmen. Oh there are solid blocks that must be destroyed as well. Now as you are working on the level, pacman is gobbling up dots around the border outside of the play area. And thee's a slow moving ghost monster moving around the board as well. So each time you make a match, pacman moves ahead, but if the ghost catches up with pacman the game is over. The cool thing is that if you match ghosts nearby pac man symbols, pacman gobbles up the ghosts. It's a very addicvive and fun online game. Try it at Namco.com and look for the online game Pac Match party online game.

Taito Legends

I had gotten a pc cdrom game of Taito Legands from Amazon. It's a great way to relive my fondness of old arcade classics, thank goodness I got a game pad. It comes with 29 games and my all time favorites are Bubble Bobble, Rainbow Islands, Elevator Action, Jungle Hunt, Phoenix, Space Invaders, Space Invaders Part 2, Super Qix, and Zoo Keeper. I admit that I also enjoy The New Zealand Story, which all you have to do is controll a Kiwi bird, and scroll around othe level rescuing your kiwi bird friends that have been captured and imprisoned by a giant walrus. Very similar to Bubble Bobble, only you destroy the monsters with weapon items, and other things you collect for powerups, then you pick up the fruit items left behind for bonus points. I really enjoy this as it works well with Windows 7, and it's made by a company known as Xplosiv.
