Well - here are a few new sites that are absolute fantastic wastes of time.
For all of you that remember the mini-golf games, here is a miniature-golf game
You have to download it, but don't worry - it's just a flash file, and it's fairly small.
My best score so far is still on the + side. Haven't even been able to get par yet.
Or you can go fly a helicopter
My best score is a 1025.
Don't bother to thank me. I'm just helping reduce the productivity of America. _________________ "Only small minds want always to be right."

Well, I finally got par on the course. That back 9 is killer. But I'm darned close to getting an under par score. I just have to figure out a couple more holes.
Oh, and here's another funky game to try. _________________ "Only small minds want always to be right."

Man I played the golf once, I got a par on the front and the last 4 holes brought me to +9.

I finally managed a -2 as well. It seems like one hole always screws things up. I was running a -6 till I hit hole 16 (I think) and then got a 7 on that. Totally wrecked my score. then a bogey on 18 and I was back down to -2. _________________ "Only small minds want always to be right."

Here is another one to try:
Curve Ball
Pretty addictive. Kind of like ping-pong.
My best so far is level 7 - 22250 pts. _________________ "Only small minds want always to be right."

Just managed a -12 on the mini golf game. Now I am officially retired. Although with a slightly better performance I see that the ultimate score would be to get -18. I can't see how it's possible to get higher than that. There are only a couple of good eagle opportunities and it is at least possible to get a birdie on every hole. _________________ "Only small minds want always to be right."

Dang
That's pretty impressive. I've gotten to level 8 as well - but I can't seem to get past it. That ball is moving pretty damned fast at that point.
My favorite part is getting past the first 5 levels - I try and see if I can get an ace every time. So far my best is all the way to the 3rd serve on level 5 before the computer finally managed to return a serve. _________________ "Only small minds want always to be right."

Daddee you remind me of those old "Bob from AccounTemps" radio ads, where the replacement informed the boss that the regular guy at the desk was a "Wing Commander with over 1000 hours"
Gee, you must be a Captain!

Yep, I am a serious geek when it comes to computer games. I used to be even more of a geek. But lack of time and money has restricted my playing time.
Although I did have some serious fun with the last Jedi Knight game they released. That was WAY fun to play. Took me forever to beat it too. A sign of a good game.
Oh, and Return to Castle Wolfenstein was seriously cool too. _________________ "Only small minds want always to be right."
