I had a lot of fun with Fragger. I played it through the last level, pictured above. It’s a nice puzzle game in which you’ve got to blow up all the guys on the screen, who are often in bunkers. Play Fragger

I didn’t expect much before I’d played this flash game version of my old arcade favorite. But other than the fact that you’ve got to play with a keyboard, it’s a really perfect emulation of the original. Check it out! Play Street Fighter 2 Championship Edition
