Often we do our best to make some tenuous link between our Friday Feeling pick of the week and the I.T., but with the current snowy weather afflicting the UK we just wanna get outside and throw snowballs.  So Crossblock; try it out!

     

This weeks offering isn't online and sadly isn't free either.  However Prince of Perisa has given us hours of gaming enjoyment and more than a little frustration.  Better still it's totally free of pesky DRM or other software nastiness that would otherwise prevent us from installing on our office computers.  Obviously around here we make our own rules, but you really need to check with your company's IT department before installing un-approved software on any work machines.  In this economic enviroment you really don't need to be annoying the people who pay your salary!

     

Firstly we should say Happy New Year to all 1ManITDepartment readers, and with that in mind we thought we'd start the new year by looking back in time.  However, rather than look to last year, which let's be honest wasn't the greatest for many, we'll peer much further into the past to a time of monochrome monitors and 8" floppy disks.

When we think of assembler, we think of the joys of Intel 8086, Motorola 68000 and Acorn ARM.  If, however, you're not as old as we feel and you've never tried assembler, now is your chance.

But we're not talking assembly language, this Assembler is a flash based puzzle game. If that's too easy, try Assembler 2.  If that's still too easy, try 8086.  But don't say we didn't warn you!

     

No DRM, no installation, no 6 foot tall chipboard cabinet, just quality retro-gaming in your very own browser.  We're particuarly big fans of Galaga, but you can choose from Donkey Kong, 1943, Space Invaders, Pac Man and many more.
