Magic Pen: Crayon Physics clone

3 weeks ago, I blogged about Crayon Physics Deluxe, a cool physics puzzle game which is not yet released. But over the weekend I found a Crayon Physics clone!!! It is called Magic Pen, the game play is exactly the same as Crayon Physics. Maybe both games are from the same developer. If not, who is the copycat?



I figure that this game shouldn't be too hard to clone using Silverlight 2.0 + Farseer Physics Engine, but I am lazy to try....

How to cheat in Windows Minesweeper game

The trick I am going to mention below has been around since Windows 3.1. But there are still many people who do not know it.

Before I start, I must say I don't think the cheat is still available in Windows Vista, the cheat works on Windows XP and earlier Windows.

To always win in Minesweeper game, please do the following steps:

1. Launch Minesweeper game
2. Make sure the Minesweeper window is focused / active then type xyzzy
3. Press Shift + Enter
4. The cheat mode is now activated

You should notice a very small square ( 1 x 1 pixel) located at the top left corner of your desktop changes colour when you move your mouse over the Minesweeper tiles.

White colour square = The tile is safe, you can click on it.
Black colour square = The tile contains mine, flag it!!!

The square is very small thus it is very hard to see. Try to look carefully, if you can't see it, try the following things:

a. Adjust your screen positioning to make sure the top left corner is shown on the screen.

b. Change your screen resolution to 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768 so that it is easier to spot the tiny square.

c. Use single-colour wallpaper. The colour should be a soft colour to make sure it is easier to notice the black square.

d. Minimize all other Windows.

After you spot the square, you can challenge others that you can win the advanced mode.

A Silverlight game: Zombomatic

Zombomatic is a puzzle game. The game play is fairly simple: You reveal and then swap tiles to connect them into a path for the electricity to flow. It sounds like easy game but in fact it is quite challenging as you need to swap the tiles very fast otherwise the electricity flow is blocked then the game is over.

Doraemon bowling game

3. Finally, click again to decide the speed of the ball....

Playing retro games without DosBox

DosBox is great but it can fail miserably in Windows Vista which require PC reboot. Sometimes, adjusting the configurations or patching the games are frustrating process too. That is why I never play any retro games since I switched to Vista - until I found this website - Nintendo8.com.

This website allows you to play Nintendo 8 bits games online, without download anything. In other words, I am free from the problems I just mentioned above. Best of all, the games are available for free.

The bad thing is, only Nintendo games are listed. You cannot play old days PC games like Xenon 2, Nightmare on Elm St, etc. Having said that, many DOS games have Nintendo version too. So you still can play Prince of Persia, Double Dragon and many others.

Reverse Game

This game is harder than I thought, try it yourself:

Hardest game ever?

I have seen many Mario-variant games. This one is definitely not the hardest, though I am sure it is very hard. Compare to this one, the latter is even more frustrating. This Mario style game is still very addicting after so many years, unbelievable.
