SwfRoads - Today's Time Waster
Ahhh, nostalgia. SwfRoads is a Flash remake of SkyRoads, a game I have fond memories of playing on an old 486/DX2. It's an extremely simple game: You pilot a car/ship down a pseudo-3D track, dodging obstacles and jumping gaps along the way. Though SwfRoads is a direct remake, it's not identical to its progenitor. There are no fuel or O2 gauges, for example, and, though I could be mistaken, I think it's a bit harder. There's no time limit and your lives are unlimited, and you'll be glad for both. If you're feeling really nostalgic, you should check out BlueMoon Interactive's web site, where you can download both the demo and full versions of the original SkyRoads, plus the "Xmas Special" version. I wonder if I could get it running on DOSXBox.[Via Jay is Games]

I remember playing skyroads for hours upon hours upon hours on my 386/33 with 4megs of ram. That game was killer.
