Play Zork over the phone with Zasterisk

by Jordan Running Jun 5th 2006

What do you get when you combine the Z-Machine text adventure engine with open source phone exchange system Asterisk? Zasterisk, a novel combination of voice recognition and text-to-speech that allows you to play Zork and other Infocom text adventures over the phone. Is this something anybody really needs? Well, duh, no. Is it pretty cool? Yes. However, I take no responsibility for the looks you're going to receive if you shout "attack baby hungus!" into your cell phone on a crowded train.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
