Pong
Infamous worldwide because the graphics are so pathetic.
But it thankfully has a high cheeze factor - it's so poor
that it becomes good!!
This fresh version of Pong uses the mouse as a paddle.
The object of game is to beat your opponent (the computer
in this case) by ponging the ball with your paddle, as in
real tennis. The first player to reach a score of nine
wins the game.
Why are the paddles so hard to control? That's the whole
point - you need the skill, otherwise it would be too
easy...

Snake
You've probably annoyed your mates by draining their
mobile phone batteries whilst playing this game. So play
it online instead!
Direct your snake towards the grub using the Arrow Keys.
The Space Bar can be used to pause and start the
game.
You have three levels to choose from:
Slug = Easy Snake
Worm = Harder Snake
Python = Ha!

Pacman
The little yellow blob roams around a maze being spooked
by ghosts and popping pills. No wonder this webgame's
staggeringly addictive.
Guide the "Pac-man" around the maze using the
arrow keys.
These keys can also be used for playing:
P = Pause/unpause game
Q = Quit game
M = Mute/unmute all sounds
L = Low quality on/off
If the game is running slowly, try muting the sound and
using low quality.

Space
Invaders
The grandaddy of retro gaming. We all know how irritating
aliens can be, but not more so than when they start
wobbling at you.
You can move the laser base using these controls on the
keyboard:
Space Bar = Fire laser
Left Arrow = Move left
Right Arrow = Move right
If you hit the UFO, you're rewarded with a
"mystery" bonus score. It's game over after 3
lives, or if the invaders overrun the barracks. And you
only get one shot at a time, so make sure you hit that
target!

Hexxagon
A replica of the great game based on a slightly wonky
version of Othello and Ataxx. Unleash your plasma - you
know you want to.
Hexxagon is a straightforward mouse point-n-click game,
but if you like to be awkard, you can use the tab
key.Shift your little pieces around the board by selecting
them, and then choosing your destination. Doubling and
jumping moves are shown either by a green or yellow
highlight.

sanity. See for how long you can remember the sequence of

G = Green light
Y = Yellow light
B = Blue light
R = Red light

Tetris
Flex your tessellation muscle and get those falling blocks
into place sharpish. It fulfils every need - very
addictive yet totally futile.
You can move your pieces while they fall using the Arrow
Keys:
Left Arrow = Shift left
Right Arrow = Shift right
Down Arrow = Quick drop
Rotate your pieces with these keys:
X or PageDown = Rotate clockwise
Z or End = Rotate Counter-clockwise
Other controls are:
P = Pause game
Q = Quit game
M = Toggle music

Tic
Tac Toe
Not exactly retro, but it is a class game so had to be
included. And this version will save you room on fogged-up
windows.
Just point 'n' click on the squares to place your X.
Obviously, you can't put your X into a square that's
already occupied.
