Want a New Addiction?

I just discovered this site last night. It's a whole bunch of addictive strategy games. Enjoy!

And I even found them on an education site!

The link is to the Ohio Commerce Dept. Where might these games be?

I'm rather partial to Same Game myself.

I had quite a few games of MASTERMIND. I loved that one when I was little, so it was fun to play it again.
I was working my way through the levels of RUSH HOUR when my system froze I was all the way up to the Level 7

Wow. Some of these are old fashioned peg games, the others are Touch Screen bar games.

It's funny, I did horribly on the photo one, but that's the one I play almost every time I go to a bar. Of course, it always helps when there is a team of four or five people playing

I like the photo hunt one, but it's very buggy on here. I kept getting blank screens. That messed me up too. And the fact that you can't do the pornographic version makes it less stellar than the bar versions.

Of course, on an educational website, I wouldn't expect naked people LOL.

Yup. That same game is awfully addicting. Reminds me of ballpop on some other site.

I've been trying to remember where I used to play it. It seems to me it was linked to another site from iwon. I haven't been back there in ages 'cause it is way too addicting.

I just tried it for the first time. I agree with your first reply "Danger! Danger!".

I got 284 for my first game. How does that compare to others?

I usually get around 200-300. My highest score was somewhere around 220,000.

Have you seen the movie A Beautiful Mind? Maybe if I get really really good at this I could be a code breaker

Ballpop is very similar to Samegame. Except it uses balls instead of squares. It adds on some other options and features too. For example, I think the rows refill. It's been awhile since I played it and I wasn't able to find it so that I could describe it.

Instead I got sidetracked with a site that lets you play Diamond Mine online...

Apparently the woman who runs this site has added three new games. One of them is a pipe game similar to Same Game. It's not as fun, though.

An aside -- "Hoody Hoo!" is known as the "ghetto alarm clock." When the drug dealers are on the street and ready to sell they will shout "hoody hoo!" to let their clients know.

It's also very popular in rap songs:

Quote:
4 or 5 hummers Burban Jag for the summer
SS sittin 20's but I ain't no mutha****in stunter
Grab the gat where they at? rat tat tat tat
I represent the 3rd ward
You a rookie, I'm a vet, you the captain, I'm the crunch
You got that dinner, I got the lunch, hit the weed, pass the blunts
Your eyes red, you got the munchies
How you like me now? Gold teef when I smile
Try to take me out the ghetto, but I'm still buckwild

(Chorus)
So buckle up nigga, knuckle up nigga
(Hoody Hoo!) That's the code for them killas
(Hoody Hoo!) Buckle up, knuckle up (What you wanna do?)
The rest of the song is pretty much all "Hoody Hoo! Hoody Hoo!" And it's called Hoody Hoo, by TRU. Heh.

Ok... just had to leave that here. I was surprised to see that "hoody hoo" has made it to EA.

Sorry... language just fascinates me sometimes.
