Fun Sites: a list of some Shockwave multiuser movies on the web

Games

iSketch http://www.rita.nu
Gather a friend or two and check out this net version of pictionary. We had so much fun playing it around in office that we had to be late to our weekly engineering meeting.

The english dictionary still needs work, so use the "skip" function to avoid hard to draw words. Or try to draw them... I was impressed by Mike's attempt to draw "redundant."

Abalone http://www.abalone-online.com/
Beautiful Flash animation introduces this site. Very nice interface on setting up the game and playing it. A little hard to figure out how to play the game if you've never played it before, but I had fun anyhow. Text chat is integrated into the lobby and the game.

Gamespark http://www.gamespark.com/
Gamespark is chock full of classic games. There's a nice lobby where potential players can gather to find each other. You can find folks playing there at all hours of the day and night.
