Twin Cobra

Twin Cobra is a game I used to play when I was in my early 20’s.

It’s been a long time, and I was delighted to find a Java version of it online. Try it here. You’ll need Java enabled on your computer to be able to play it.

Blue firepower is the best selection for much of the game. Yellow is useful occasionally when shooting at tanks coming up behind you. Red (bullet-like, the default you start with) is a good all-rounder. Green is best for the end of each level. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, play the game!

Other games I like are Galaga and Qix, the latter doesn’t seem to be available as a Java program yet.

Asteroids fans will also enjoy this recent version by armor games.

I like turn-based strategy games that you can play against one or more computer opponents. My favourites at the moment are:

Conquest http://www.windowsgames.co.uk/conquest.html (a version of the board game RISK with loads of maps available for download.

Xplorers http://games.asobrain.com/ (a version of the board game SETTLERS OF CATAN)

Pente http://http://www.pente.org/ (a 5-in-row game with a twist)
