Dr. Dave Johnson PhD

This is a falling blocks puzzle game.
There are four different types of block, and when four of the same type are touching,
they disappear, and any blocks that were above fall down into the empty space,
which can cause chain reactions.
The objective of the game is to fill the screen while losing as few blocks as possible.

Magic Maze

You have to guide a ball through a maze.
You can't move the ball directly, you have to rotate the maze itself and use gravity to move the ball.
Each time you clear a maze, the next maze is bigger than the previous one.

TENiS

This is a bit like a single player version of squash.
You have to use your mouse to hit the ball so that it remains inside the court.
The objective is to keep the ball inside the court for as long as possible.
