In his free time, Jon enjoys biking, playing board games, card games, Nintendo, Xbox and PC games. In past lives he has helped design board games and card games, including the Chaotic Trading Card Game and the Twilight movie (yes, that Twilight) board game series.

Rubiks Cube Gameplay

Rubik's Cube

December 31, 1998

This is a computer version of a Rubik's Cube. You can twist it all around to check for your next moves.

Wolf, Sheep and Cabbage

December 31, 1998

This one's another classic. You have to get a wolf, a sheep and a head of cabbage across the river... so that nothing (or no one) gets eaten in the process.

Extreme Parking Mania Gameplay

Extreme Parking Mania

December 31, 1998

One of our most popular games ever. Hard driving and lots of obstacles to figure out... Then, you have to park!

Phit

December 31, 1998

This is one of my favorite puzzle games. They give you the pieces and you have to figure out how to slide them together so the fit into the box.

Me and the Key 3

December 31, 1998

Another awesome Me and the Key game! Figure out what to go on each level to find the key. Seems like an easy one... at first!

Knight Slider

December 31, 1998

Slide the pieces around the board to help the knight escape. Can you do it in the fewest moves possible?

Spectrum Genesis

December 31, 1998

I love this game. It's got similar thinking as Bloxorz. You have to move the bar around to get to the star, but you have to hit all the dots first.

Color Balls

December 31, 1998

This is a great game for focusing. Click on the balls that say the right color on them... The trick is that the words are all colored in the wrong colors!

Squares

December 31, 1998

If you like Gem Swap, you should try this one. It's a lot harder, but, once you get the hang of it, it's pretty cool. Takes a first losses to get how to do it.

Gem Swap

December 31, 1998

A great version of Gem Swap. It's timed, but, when you make a match, you win more time. Multiple levels.
