“Student Survivor”
In this “world,” you build your own pet student,
and use typed commands to keep it “happy, fed, watered,
studious and solvent”… for at least a week
of in-game time. You can save and return, but be warned:
like students everywhere, it may not listen if it doesn’t
get enough attention.

“My Physics Lab”
All physics labs should be this much fun. These colorful
and elastic toys bounce, stretch and vibrate through the
laws of physics. You can tweak things, like gravity. Our
favorites: the rollercoasters and the molecules. Comments

This hypnotic animation is already a Net classic. Brightly-colored
badgers doing knee-bends, a large mushroom, a passing
snake and the catchy music have no apparent logic to us…but
“Badger” still cracks us up every time. Comments on ourOn
