IF Games from The Commonplace Book Project Much interactive fiction requires a time commitment of an hour or two, and sometimes quite a bit more. Not so with the text adventure entries in the Commonplace Book project, in which each entrant took a line from a notebook by H. P. Lovecraft and spun it out into a game. This was an international competition, drawing entries in English, French, and Spanish, as well as a couple of graphical point-and-click adventures. [review]

Shrunken Heads


Shrunken HeadsDr. Strangemitten's Shrunken Heads is a Puzzle Bobble variation (Bust a Move in the U.S.) with a ghoulish Halloween theme, perfect for this time of year. And while the gameplay is unoriginal, the execution of this version is quite enjoyable to play. The game consists of colored orbs—in this case shrunken heads of various colors and types—that are dropped down onto the rising play field, instead of being shot upwards as in the original. Lining up 3 or more of the same color and type will remove them from play, causing the remaining heads to settle. Combinations are possible with the settling of contents causing further removal from play and higher scores. From Kewlbox.com, this game can be a lot of fun, if at least for thematic play around Halloween. Click.

I haven't seen this game before, it's fun!
Spooky outfit you got now Jay! have a nice (or spooky) halloween everybody!

Why is that when I click on it, it asks me to download as a .dcr file? What program reads that?

Thanks, Mirkku. =)

Toni - .dcr is a Shockwave file, you need the latest Shockwave player plug-in to play this game. Get it by clicking the "Get Shockwave" button in the sidebar.

Jay, I downloaded the Shockwave file but for some reason it's not installing properly. Nothing happens after I click "install". I don't get it.

Toni - installing Flash and Shockwave is generally simple. If nothing happens when executing the installer, then try downloading it again.

After installing you will likely need to restart your browser.

This game was a lot of fun....too bad it was so short - only 4 rounds in the "demo" version before asking you to download the full version. A bit of a bummer when it so easy to get through those first 4 rounds.

A fun game though while it lasted.
