Take power of creation in your hands, using fun puzzle game "Doodle God"! by Iren Birken
Doodle God is a fun puzzle game that puts that power of creation in your hands. In the beginning there was only Doodle God. Doodle God created the four basic elements: Water, Air, Fire, and Earth. With Earth he created the Planets. With water he created the Seas, and oceans. With fire he created the volcanoes, and other stuff. But the world was still vast and deserted. So, Doodle God decided to combine the four elements and create new elements. As Doodle God, your job is to use different combinations of the available elements to create the 115 total elements that are possible in the Doodle world. You need to work your way up from bacteria and beetles, to humans, vampires, and wizards. Combinations can be both physical and metaphorical. The combinations range from the obvious, to the bizarre.
At the start of the game you will only have the four elements to begin with. Select an element by tapping on it, and drag it and place it on top of another element to combine them and create a new element. Some combinations might not work, and so your job is to find the specific combination of the individual elements that will work. Eg: Combine earth and water to create "Swamp". Combine water and fire to create "Alcohol". Elements are neatly categorized into groups. Similar elements are grouped together. Click on the group to view the list of available elements in that group. Expand the groups, and combine any two elements to create a new element. As you progress you will be able to create more interesting elements, such as mythical creatures, machines, abstract concepts, and more. Eg: Combine music and alcohol to create "Rock & Roll". Combine human and a dragon to create "Ash".
Whenever you create a new element, you will be rewarded with interesting, and funny quotes from some the greatest philosophers and comedians. Eg: When you create electricity, you get this quote from George Gobel "If it weren't for electricity we'd all be watching television by candlelight". In case you ever get stuck, Doodle God also has a useful hint feature that is available every few minutes. The hint either shows you a feasible byproduct to work towards, or shows you two possible groups that have an available reaction. As you create more elements you will be able to unlock mini-games and quests, such as "Save the Princess", and "Sins and virtues". You can post online high scores for mini-games, and achievements, using Openfeint. Doodle God has detailed graphics, fluid animation, and great sound effects. Create life, storms, armies, and unleash your inner God, with Doodle God.
Features:
- Create 300+ advanced items and concepts
- Hundreds of interesting, funny and thought-provoking quotes and sayings
- Mini-games for arcade fans

Arcade Games - The Good Ole Days
I remember playing my first arcade game in a bar in Montreal. It was 1981 I was underage, drunk, in a digital delirium, and the arcade game was the original Pacman. This was about the coolest thing I had ever seen. I'd always had a thing for games, even before the first arcades and arcade games sprung up. Even before computer games for the home PC. I used to subscribe to games magazines that never, ever mentioned the word computer. This was something totally new and sumptuously fascinating. Countless hours of my well wasted youth were spent in arcades, long after plenty of beer swilling at the local pub. Arcade games, and computer games have come a long way since then, but there's nothing like your first time.
Frag This You Bourgeoisie Backgammond Barnacle
Shortly after my lascivious encounter with arcades and the hypnotizing arcade game jewels hidden within, my family purchased it's first home PC. A radio shack trs-80. More commonly called a trash-80. It was here that I learned the cunningly devious game of backgammon. Not sure I would have ever learned that game without being introduced to it by a computer. It's not the kind of game that would have appealed to a veteran of the arcade game wars. Something that belonged more to the smoky backrooms of a retirement home. Computers, arcades, and arcade games were already broadening my vistas.
Avast Commodore, Ya Scurvy Megabyte
Next on my list of technological wonders ya scallywags, is the Commodore 64. Now here was an arcade game killer if I every gazed upon one. Arcades are few and far between now, and the Commodore, is one of the reasons why. Why spend hours in an arcade, having a machina suck and swallow every last quarter in my pocket? When I can sit in the less the luxurious decadence of my basement playing the likes of jumpman, and setting arcade game style high scores for my baby brother to frantically try to match. Not like in the arcades where he could be humbled in front of the masses, but this arcade game jewel would serve my purposes none the less.
Arcadia Arise Oh Mighty Griffon
Old is new, black is blue, and from the depth, arises the legends of old and times forgotten. Huh? What I'm frothing forth about here, is that arcade games are back with a vengeance. All us old fogies, who remember time spent in arcades watching the neighborhood masters pummel evil incarnate up till level 9999 rejoice! You can once again relive the glories of the golden age of arcade games. Just google around a little, and you'll find free versions of all the great arcade game from the past. Not to mention a few new legends being born in the ancient art of arcade games. And hey save your quarters. These games are free as the air you breathe. Of course you better not let those quarters get too far, your gonna need them to keep that old jalopy of a Commodore in running order.
