and Guess (Mastermind), others perhaps not, but if you like puzzles you're guaranteed to find something addicing in the
collection. I spent more time this weekend than I'd like to admit playing Bridges, Loopy (a.k.a. Slither Link) and Slant. Each of
the games has multiple difficulty levels, save and load functions, multi-level undo and redo, and a few more features,
and each one is available for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and Palm OS. As if that weren't impressive enough, every puzzle
is a download of less than 100kb.[Via Anarchaia]
