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.

Games Reviewed By Jonathan Keefer

Number Twins

December 31, 1998

This is like our game, Twins, but we put numbers on the balls. You have to match up numbers (like in our game Shisen) to make the correct sums.

Seesaw Logic

December 31, 1998

I really like this one. It seems really easy at first, then you really have to think. You are shown a bunch of objects on scales and have to figure out which one is heaviest.

Piles of Balls

December 31, 1998

Clumps of balls drop down from the top and you have to rotate them so that they form groups of three or more of the same color. Can you keep up with this one?

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!

Find the Pair

December 31, 1998

How fast can you find the two things that are the same size, shape and color?

Parking Mania: Zoo Escape

December 31, 1998

We got a LOT of requests for this game! The driving is easier than our "extreme" versions and you get to rescue animals. What could be better?

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.
