Hey Zoners,
This is your chance to post about your favorite online games. I'm referring to those games that you play with your web browser, of course. Such games as Hogwarts Live, Elder Ages, and Legend of the Green Dragon. Please let lose with descriptions of your favorite game. Let us know the site it can be found on, how to register, ift's free to register and play, how difficult it is to register and play and a little synopsis, a little background info on your game of choice. In case, some of uas haven't heard of it before. Thanks. On with the postings! Shuz'z'z'z'z'z'z'z'z'z'z'zam!
I'm partially sighted and can use a mouse, so I like playing puzzle games on http://www.popcap.com/ My favorites are Chuzzle, Bejeweled, and I think they still have Bookworm. I also like Typer Shark. Chuzzle is a puzzle game where these little fuzzy balls of different colors are lined up in a kind of grid and you have to match three or more of the same color in a row or in a cluster. It has great sound effects and if you aren't actually playing hte game moving them around and you just click on the individual fuzzballs, they sneeze and make weird noises and stuff. Bejeweled is similar to Chuzzle but it's all about getting the right color and shaped gems to match in the grid. Bookworm is where you have letter tiles on a board and have to find words kind of like boggle and the bookworm eats your tiles and gives you new ones. There are special tiles like the green and gold ones and then there are the burning tiles that you have to use soon or you'll lose points. Typer Shark is a game where a diver goes underwater to dive for sharks. The sharks have words on them that you have to type in order to zap them and kill them. At the end of each round, there's a bonus part where you have to type as many words that flash on the screen as you can and then you get bonus points. The words get harder to type and sometimes they'll have little fish with letters, numbers, and symbols found by pressing shfit on the number keys to challenge you. I hope other mouse using part sighties will enjoy PopCap games like I do.
Of course I like playing games on here such as blingo (also enjoy the gameshow on tv) hangman, and anagrams. I also like playing games on whitestick.co.uk that site has a little bit of everything.

Thank you, Troy, for your contribution. I know about Whitestick. It's cool. It's also where I found a link to the Zone and this mad house! Lol!
i like playing on the dragon games since it is easy to register,and play for free on them.
i play on two green dragon games, and i also play on here
White stick has games? can some one give me the site? I thought I had been there but maybe not.
Everyone needs to check out Kingdom of loathing. its an rpg but its a spoof. e.g. you do a mition in which you fight lots of bats...vampire bats of course but also baseball bats, briefcase bats and doe bats. its v tounge in cheek. you can join clans and have fab weapons like a lead yo-yo! there's loads of milage in it.
only bad thing is, chat isn't very good for us lot and some places come up as graphics but that's all managible.
loads of stupid puns and great community. give it a shot. www.kingdomofloathing.com
msg in game if you need any help. my zone id is same as my zone one.
excuse me, i've been drinking again! i meant that its tongue in cheek and that my KOL id, is the same as my zone one.
Not sure what happened to my last message, but, I second the post re: Another fantasy roleplaying game called Sryth. It takes itself far more seriously than does KOL, and does not have the multi-player aspects.
Another message mutilated!
My advice, JOIN KOL! You'll be glad you did.
kingdom of loathing is really cool.
the other ones i play are hogwarts live and crayne: ditective for hire.
you can find that at www.audiogames.net
I play a lot more pet sims then rpgs. I play Furry Paws which is a dog sim where you get your own kennel of dogs and can show breed, train and much more. It also has some genetics and your dog can have litters. It's really easy to register and I have no trouble playing it.
The other game is called Sledzz. It's another dog sim but this one is with snow dogs. You can basically do the same things as on Furry Paws, but i think it's way better. You get to keep all the puppies you get in a litter. On the other game you can only keep a certain amount. It's also extremely easy to join. My id on that is 470
Another game I play is Cat Tails which is a cat sim. It's like the other sites I mentioned, but you don't get the entire litter of kittens. You just get one of them. You also get to take different jobs and you have certain benefits for each job.
Rpgs:
hogwartslive.com: A cool Harry Potter rpg where you gain experience to get to the next level by fighting creatures then eventually killing voldimort. I'm always looking for new games though.
I forgot to put the urls for them.
Sleds is sledzz.com
and Cat Tails is cat-tails.org
