Level 17: Motherload
Motherload is one of mine and Sheana’s favorites.
The object of the game is to dig down on the surface of mars and find lots of minerals. The more you grab, the better, because you can bring them back up to the surface and sell them.
You can only stay down for so long, but you can […]

Level 16: Oregon Trail
Younger readers may be scratching their heads, but for those of us who were in elementary school in the late 80’s/early 90’s, Oregon Trail is a fond memory. It was leagues better than Number Crunchers with both plot and graphics, and most importantly, you couldn’t tell that it was edu-tainment.
Because I love OT so much, […]
Level 15: Lobster Quest
The Lobster Quest Demo makes me very excited to see the full version of the game!
You are Erk, a lobster on a quest for a drink. If you head on up to the castle, you’ll meet Trigger. Trigger is a fish who, after talking your ear off about the bad shit goin’ on up at […]
Level 14: Jack French 2
Okay, so I’m a *really* big fan of the mystery games; of course this meant I had to take a stab at Jack French 2.
It’s a murder mystery just like the other one, only instead of a busty exchange student, the victim now is the good Dr. José Ferrer.
Unlike the first game, though, this one […]
Level 13: The Asylum for Abused Cuddly Toys
This game was suggested by Paige. Thanks Paige!
In The Asylum for Abused Cuddly Toys you are a psychiatrist taking over for one who had to go away on short notice. Your patients are - you guessed it - abused cuddly toys.
I don’t think I’ve quite figured out the whole thing, but there […]
Level 12: Jack French #1
I admit it: I’m a fan of those escape/puzzle games. I recently discovered Jack French and it’s different from most others I’ve seen in that, in addition to a clear plot, all of the characters have real, human voices.
The game starts out with Nami, a young Japanese exchange student who is found dead in her […]

Level 11: Sushi Samurai
Our next game came to us through comments as a suggestions from Nic over at MorfaBlog. Thanks Nic!
Sushi Samurai is (I think) a kid’s game, so the object is pretty simple- avoid the baddies (in this case, shitake, tofu, radish and fish) and stomp on the sushi peices to make them fall into the neat […]

Level 10: Sonic the Hedgehog
There are not many games that give me a real retro thrill - most of the online versions of classic games are either too beefed up or too toned down. This version of Sonic the Hedgehog, though, is awesome.
While it’s been a long time since I had my Sega Genesis, the graphics seem fairly true […]

The criticisms of my students would serve as a good warning to visitors of Seeworthy: she talks too fast, she's too hard on us, she assigns too much work, and you have to be a dyke to get a good grade.
In other words, I'm a big, fat, queer, feminist meanie, and I am totally out to get you. Graaagh!
