Online and computer games

These are only games which you can actually either play online or download and run on your computer. For sites where you can buy games (mainly board games), see my `Other ecommerce bookmarks'.

Javaquarius (Looney Labs' Aquarius implemented in Java) is at http://www.wunderland.com/WTS/Kory/JavaGames/Javaquarius/. You need a Java-capable web browser to play. I couldn't get that version to work, but there's another one at www.wunderland.com/WTS/Kory/JavaGames/Javaquarius/index2.html that works for me under Netscape.
Douglas Adams Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy adventure game in Java (playable in web browsers)
Tenés Empanadas Graciela is a freeware clone of Plan Táctico y Estratégica de la Guerra (TEG), itself based loosely on RISK. It's a multiplayer networked game (although there's a bot, so you can play against the computer) with a GNOME client. It's hosted on Sourceforge at http://teg.sourceforge.net/.
There's a Settlers of Catan beta in Java at http://settlers.cs.northwestern.edu/ (new URL). This is an online adaptation of Mayfair Games' excellent board game Settlers of Catan. I couldn't get this to work under Mozilla, but it worked under Netscape.
Bill Kendrick has some CGI-and-image based web games up at http://www.billsgames.com/.
The Telescope Game at http://www.dyson.co.uk/game/play.asp is a nifty little puzzle game in Flash. (new)
