Let's face it. Sometimes, we all get bored. Now, you could always do your homework to pass the time,but who actually does their homework more than one day before it's due? I don't know anyone that does. So, thanks to the power of the internet, you can now play games on the Engineering Hall Website instead! We've got several games up, including PacMan, Simon, Tetris, and Space Invaders. It's like having a little Atari that you can play any time you want! As long as you're at a computer. On the internet.

Pacman

This is just plain old original PacMan. Run Paccy around the little maze, eating small yellow dots while being chased by little colored ghosts. If you eat a big yellow dot, it allows you to eat the little ghosts. Every now and then, you can get some Vitamin C bonus points by eating the piece of fruit that appears in the center of the maze. Move with the arrow keys.

WHEN YOU ARE DONE PLAYING PACMAN, YOU WILL GET AN ERROR. IGNORE IT. JUST HIT BACK - The Management

Play PacMan

Space Invaders

It's a simple game with simple graphics, but it has one of the most vital assets for any computer game — gameplay.  Modern games seem to forget this with their fancy "3D graphics" and "millions of dollars".  All you need is a pointy green thing which shoots white stuff at a rampaging invasion of wobbling blobs.  They don't make 'em like they used to.

Left arrow - Move left
Right arrow - Move right
Space - Fire laser
P - Pause/Unpause
Q - Quit Game

Play Space Invaders

Tic Tac Toe

You start as X, computer makes the first move. How much more do you need to know? It's a game about two letters!

Hexxagon

Hexxagon happens to be one of those games that's easier to play than it is to explain.  You play as the red diamonds, and your goal is to take over the board by leaping into the spaces adjacent to your opponent's watery globules. Use the mouse to move your pieces. Green highlights double, yellow highlights jump.

Tetris

For the Tetris novice: shaped blocks fall into a pit where you must arrange them so they fit neatly — a sort of juggling in one direction.  The more blocks you can place into a horizontal line simultaneously, the more you score.

Left - Move shape left
Right - Move shape right
Down - Faster drop
Up or X - Rotate shape
P - Pause/Unpause

Play Tetris
