JAMMing at the Arcade

Posted on 17 May 2007 by


Doug Goldring has just posted about his latest escapades at the Arcade, and this month he is covering five games – one of which is an old favorite of mine. :-)

This time, his round-up includes:

1. 3-D Tic-Tac-Toe

2. Galaxy Gate

3. Lines FG

4. Nebulous

5. Japan Crossword

Since Japan Crossword is the one I recommended to him, I’ll post some of Doug’s comments concerning it…

“The rules are fairly straightforward.  You are faced with a blank grid (typically 10×10).  Your job is to paint the correct squares in order to from a picture.  To help you, there are clues on the outside of each row and column.  The number clues tell you the groupings of the painted tiles.  So, for example, if a column reads “3, 2, 3″  Then that column will have a total of eight painted squares in it.  The first group will have three, then two and the last group will have three again (the numbers are always presented in the correct order).  This is the perfect example of a free game which is considerably better than many of its commercial counterparts.  I was extremely impressed by the quality of the graphics as well as the difficulty of the puzzles.”

I started Gear Diary on September 30, 2006, and my goal was that this not be an easily labeled site. We all have gear that we use daily – some of it electronic and some of it organic. I think it is fascinating to explore the equipment that makes our lives easier, more entertaining, more productive, and more manageable. My hope is that Gear Diary visitors will find this site to be a comfortable and friendly place to discuss interesting topics – and not only those that are tech related, as well as a location to discover various types of gear – whatever that term may end up implying – that they never knew existed. My specialty is in-depth reviews written in a layman’s terms, because everyone can understand technology, sometimes it just takes a little translating. +Judie Stanford
