An interactive re-creation of Monty Python’s Cheeseshop sketch, where you try to buy some cheese.

This is basically a one-joke game, but it wins over the player's heart by heaps of style, and flawless implementation. It also has a very satisfactory ending.

Looks like that meteor crash from page 12 wasn't as harmless as everyone was expecting: now your clothes are playing mad!

"Underoos" is a nicely-designed game with a silly premise and several clever puzzles. There's not much there, but what is there is fun.

You've been on your quest so long you've almost forgotten what it is all about, but now you are nearing your destination -- if only you can stay alive long enough in this frozen wilderness to reach it.

the object of Spy Catcher is to identify and catch the "Mole" in MI7 (whose premises are known as "The Zoo"). This person, last night sometime, removed the plans of the "Sonic Macrothrodule" from the chief's safe and is preparing to leak them to a hostile power (Ruritania). The chief, Sir Arthur Cayley, in co-operation with Superintendent Hardy of Special Branch, leaves us to explore the Zoo to see what evidence we can find.
