I don’t know what I enjoy more. Playing Super Mario Brothers Crossover, or watching the creator, Jay Pavlina, play Super Mario Brothers Crossover! First of all, here is the game. But afterwards, you can watch Jay play it by himself. WARNING! Lots of bad language while he’s playing. :-)

Mortal Kombat is Not a Tournament!
March 2, 2010 By 3 Comments
God, I love the guys over at College Humor. They have the greatest podcast on Earth. Besides GeekBrief.TV of course. And if I was ever going to subscribe to another podcast on my iPhone other than GeekBrief – which is preposterous I mean – it would most definitely be College Humor. Not that I would ever do that since I told Cali that the ONLY podcast on my phone is GeekBrief. (Well, that and WealthNation.FM – like the radio!)
But I digress. And so now to change the subject, here is a little vid from our friends at College Humor called, Mortal Kombat is NOT a Tournament! Um. For those of you who live in a box, Mortal Kombat is a video game. Yeah, if you didn’t know that, this is not going to be funny. Well, maybe it will. But I’m not going to judge you if it isn’t. (Yes, I am.)

Physics Invaders – Space Invaders PLUS Gravity
January 27, 2009 By 13 Comments
Ok. It’s been a little while since I posted a game, but here is one that I just can’t resist. If you happen to be a fan of the old Space Invaders video game, you’re really going to like this little gem. This modern interpretation of the arcade classic adds some nice features. Most notably, gravity!
Now when you shoot the alien ships, they fall out of the sky. They even pile up in your path! So, you can be surrounded by the carcasses of the aliens you destroy! Awesome!

Tanks, the Game!
September 25, 2007 By 46 Comments
Ok, the best thing about this game is that you can actually play multi-player against a friend – or you can go head to head with the computer. In addition, each time you win a battle you accumulate points which you can use to upgrade your tank with everything from weapons to armor.
I found this game to be so addictive that I played it for hours straight. So, if you get started you might as well write off the rest of the day because your productivity is going to be shot! (No pun intended.)

Space Invaders – The Arcade Classic
September 12, 2007 By 14 Comments
The next in the series of Classic Arcade Game week is Space Invaders. I must admit that I’m not as thrilled with this version as it is not the actual original, but it is the closest that I can find online to the original.
Controls are as follows:
- Left arrow = Move left
- Right arrow = Move right
- Space = Fire laser
- P = Pause/unpause game
- Q = Quit game
Ms. Pacman – The Arcade Classic
September 11, 2007 By 9 Comments
In continuation of our “Arcade Classics” theme week here on OMB, and by specific request from Lisa Marie, I bring you the classic Ms. Pacman!
This game is actually pretty good, though as I recall after you get past each 2 levels the maze used to change, and on this reproduction it doesn’t seem to. But everything else is pretty good so it’s definitely an amusing little time waster.

Donkey Kong – The Arcade Classic
September 10, 2007 By 10 Comments
God only knows how many quarters the Donkey Kong game stole from me in my youth. But now we have the chance to play the original right here, for free, and with unlimited lives! This of course means that you’ll be able to waste an infinite amount of time, so prepare yourself.
Now, there are three things you need to know:
- The game starts immediately when you load the page. Sorry, but I don’t know how to prevent that – I’m posting it as I’ve found it.
- There is sound, so if you’re at work you might want to turn your speakers down otherwise everyone around you will be coming over to play Donkey Kong.
- You use the arrow keys to move, and spacebar to jump. But I’ve found that you may need to click on the game one time with your mouse before the keys work.
I’m also going to try to find more of these classic games and load them up here on OMB so that I can find them later when I want to play them, so keep an eye out.
