Grab your BFG and play Doom in your browser - Time Waster

This one really takes me back. As soon as I saw the opening screen, I could picture a dozen people crammed into my dorm room watching my roommate and I deathmatch over our awesome null modem cable.
Yes, Doom 1 has been recompiled in Flash from the original source. It plays just like I remembered the original, and could definitely become a giant Time Waster for anyone else who was hooked on Doom when it was first released.
Playing through a few levels almost made me forget how terrible the movie was (sorry, Dwayne).
There's no music, but I usually had that shut off and listened to my Discman. All the old cheat codes work as well: in case you've forgotten, IDDQD activates "degreelessness" and IDKFA will enable all weapons, keys, and ammo, and boost your armor to 200%. Not that I'm saying you'll need to cheat, but when you remember something like that after 14 years, you give it a try to see if it still works.
You'll need Flash 10 to play, and a non-PowerPC computer to run it.
By the way: if you also enjoyed Heretic (think Medieval Doom with a crossbow), you can find an updated Shockwave version of it on this site.
Thanks, Blake!

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...

I tried that flash version before, and: (1) it comes complete with all the secret areas (at least through level E04), (2) you could not IDKFA to get a BFG. I didn't play it through to where you could get a BFG, so maybe I mis-remember the cheat behavior. Slightly misleading title, but still fun to bask in the "good old days."

Unusable frame rate on my current-generation iMac. Plus that damn Kongregate "chat" window is annoying as hell.

Maybe is flash that's acting up on you... (it could be OSX) because Windows XP, Vista AND Linux can play it right.

Gahh! It's so ingrained for me that Ctrl is shoot and Space is open that I keep shooting at doors and trying to open enemies.
