‘Bag of the week’ for November 20, 2007

Aside from stuffing our faces with 7,000 calories worth of food on Thanksgiving, Americans (and Canadians but one month earlier) are supposed to reflect on what we’re most thankful for. While things like LOLcatz and coffee definitely make the list (oh right, and our families and friends, we guess), we wanted to show a little appreciation for the our users as well.

The LinkBag staff would link to thank all of of users! 

As an extra special holiday treat, we present to you a turkey-flavoured Tuesday feature — our third installment of the ‘bag of the week’. The ‘bag of the week’ features interesting, provocative, and irreverent web sites culled from linkbag’s users. Each week we feature a new ‘bag’.

This week, we’re featuring “Playable Web Games” via diggsby’s linkbag. This is a bag of “Fun free online games to play during your office coffee break or when you are in the zone at home.”

This offbeat bag includes —

1. Play hundreds of classic Nintendo 8-bit games on-line
   Super Mario Brothers, Zelda, Mega Man, Castle-Vania and most of the other classic Nintendo titles playable directly in the browser without download.
2. The most incredibly messed up “Choose Your Own Adventure” you’ll ever play
   Join the circus. Start a nuclear war. Go back in time and sleep with your mother. Play the first two levels of Castlevania. I don’t remember the books being like this when I was a kid!
3. Play Lemmings in your browser
   Remake of lemmings that can be played in your browser. Bringing the old school to the new school.
4. The Weirdest Flash Game You Will Play All Day
   There is no way to explain this one.

Thanks to diggsby for putting together such a cool collection. Thanks and stay tuned for next week’s ‘bag of the week’!
