This section of the site will describe various useful or fun standalone games and programs for a PC, which you can download right here. Some of them have been around for a while, and I've used most of them. I've tested them all; they install easily after unzipping, and don't contain viruses or malware. Or spiders.

Classic Shell Game
Follow the cup with the ball. After a few levels they move fast!

Click to start. Click on your guess.

Download it here.



Octoneuro
This classic game has been around for many years. The hand-held version was called 'Simon'. The game plays a sound and a light blinks. Then another sound and blink, and so on. Each time it does this you have to click on the same lights in the same order, following the pattern, from memory. Definitely a challenging game. I made it to a pattern of ten.
Download it here.





Paper Models
Plans for paper models which you can download, print, cut out, and glue together. There's a t-rex, tiger, sundial, and plane. Definitely challenging.
