Omnivorous Surfer

While cheking out woot's deal-of-the-day, I decided to see what was on the blog there. One of the posts led me to One Button Bob. As this post will prove, I am definitely not a gamer. I occasionally play solitaire of one form or another, but I just don't spend time on the computer playing games. This one, though, might provide an occasional diversion from more productive activities.

There are none of the complexities inherent in the types of games enjoyed by true aficionados of such computer pursuits. All you need for One Button Bob is the left mouse button to control his movements--make him jump, speed him up, slow him down, or stop him--to get him past the dangers as he travels through the depths of an ancient castle. However, your control over Bob changes with each screen, and you have to use some problem solving to figure out how to get him to the next screen. This flash game keeps track of your clicks in the upper righthand corner of the screen, so you can compete with yourself or others to see who can get him through to the end in the fewest number of clicks.

Perhaps one of the things I like about this is that it reminds me of the graphics of games for my old Commodore 64.
