Feel free to e-mail me with suggestions of games that you would like to see. Remember, Mylcoti is a family-friendly zone, so don't recommend anything inappropriate. Thank you for your support!

GAMES

ACTION (31)

3 Foot Ninja:  Take a wild guess.  It would be false advertising otherwise.

Air Hockey: Compete with computerized Anime characters in riveting matches of Air Hockey!  Very realistic movement!

Amoeba: Ever have someone tell you that you were little more than a single-celled organism? Now, you can be one!

Battle Pong: The video game classic, Pong, has never been more *ahem* exciting.

Bottom of the Sea: One of many fascinating offerings by Ferry Halim.  When exploring the briny deep, always look before you leap.

Chicken and Eggs:  Which came first?  Hmm.... 42!  There ya go.  My moment of brilliance.  Save the eggs as a psychotic chicken drops the eggs from the barn loft.  

City Jumper: Leap tall buildings in a single bound!  No... really.  In this game you are leaping over tall buildings... in a single bound.  Believe it or not, this becomes very challenging after level four.

Curve Ball: A challenging 3-D Ping Pong Simulator.

Dog Hunt:  Remember the annoying dog from Duck Hunt?  I sure do.  Grrrr....

Donkey Kong Classic: Yeah, you read right.  Sit back and reminisce! 

Evolvron: A scroller with includes a spaceship with unlimited ammo that can go left AND right.  This would have been the next big thing back in the day.

Fire @ Will:  NO! That doesn't mean shoot at ME!!!  (Grrrrrr...)  Try out this nice little target practice game.  This conjures up memories of County Fair shooting galleries.  

Flash Pegs: Oh, rapture!!!  The finally made a flash version of that peg game that sits on all of the tables at the Cracker Barrel Restaurants!!!  So mind-numbingly addictive, it should be introduced into households nationwide!

Fishy!: There's always a bigger fish.  Don't let him eat you.

Heli Attack 2: You are a little squatty guy with Martixesque jumping abilities and a powerful gun. Take out the helicopters before they take you out.

Heli Attack 3: The classic flash game gets a sharp, nice new makeover. Ready, aim... fire!!!

Helicopter Game:  I'm glad that this game is more creatively designed than the title.  "Helicopter Game" is actually a very nice little side-scroller that reminds me of the good ol' days of Nintendo.

Jelly Jammers: from the guys and gals who brought us Veggie Tales! (I kiddeth not.)  Fill Granny's jelly rolls and put them on the counter before they stack up!

Joust: Remember the old  Midway game where you were riding around on an ostrich jousting pixilated creatures out of the air?  Well, I DO!!!  Anyhoo... here it is, back from the video game graveyard: Joust.

Kill the Pac-Man: this is quite possibly the most addictive flash game I have ever played. I played it obsessively til I beat it. The last stage is incredible.

Meerca Chase: Rodentia on methamphetamines: a ripping good time!  

Minilympics:  Is watching the action in Greece not good enough for ya?  Take up your running shoes and go

Mini-Putt: Miniature Golf Simulator.  My best score is 38.  Beat that!

9-Ball Pool: Ya got trouble, right here in River City! With a capital "T," and that rhymes with "P" And that stands for Pool!

Radial Pong: You must unlearn what you have learned.

ROFL Attack: Oh My Goodness! Normally, I wouldn't put something quite this idiotic online, but I couldn't resist. This is a parody of Heli-Attack 2, and games of the like. Set to "Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins, this strangely addictive little game pits text helicopters against text stick-men fighters and planes. Fire away.

Rural Racers: Bring your turbo-charged SUV for a little road racing.  Use the shift key to hit the turbos, and don't forget to accelerate when coming out of a turn.

Seconds of Madness: Tubular! Surfing through a dangerous pipe... watch your head!

Shootout: A good old fashioned shootout in the Wild West.  Be fast on your trigger finger, or be dead!

Snowball Warrior: It's Armageddon... with snowballs!

Snowcraft: The OK Corral would have turned out so much nicer had it been winter!

Stinkoman: This is great. It's a low budget imitation of MegaMan from our friends at Homestar Runner. "Homestar Runner... it's dot com!"

Table Soccer: Foosball is awesome!  This game is just like the real thing: I got beat 0-11... thank goodness that it was only a three minute game.

Tabletop Cricket: Just like Raphael told Casey Jones, "You've gotta know what a crumpet is before you can understand Cricket!" Well, this looks strangely fun. Once I learn what Cricket is, I'll probably start playing it.

Tiny Combat 2: Take aim at little tiny soldiers scaling down a wall. Maybe they should have thought about the stairs!

Tomato Bounce: An Emeril Lagasse nightmare!

Wheelers: Awesome little driving game where you race around intricate tracks on a motorcycle. Very nice.

Ultimate Flash Sonic: Probably the most awesome flash rendition of Sonic the Hedgehog ever.

Yabusame: Japanese horseback archery.  More difficult than it looks!  See if you can match my skills as a master archer.

FIGHTING GAMES (9)

Bush Royal Rampage: The sequel to Bush Shootout, this game follows a slightly different, and far more difficult format, making it an excellent follow-up to the first one.

Bush Shootout: Terrorists invade the White House, and you take the role of our President in defending our country!  (Note: Repaired Broken Link)

Chris Ryan's Sniper School: This game is surprisingly decent.  Ironically, I think the training sessions are just as entertaining than the game itself. 

Cyborg Heifers from Outer Space: I'm sure that we have all dreamed at one time or another of strapping ourselves into the cockpit of a McDonnell-Douglass F-14 Tom-Cat and blowing airborne bovine out of the sky... right?  Come on... admit it.  *ahem*  Nevermind.

Defenders of the Motherland: A rather sharp looking martial-arts fighter game. Customize your character and defend the motherland, whatever that might be. Bonzai!

Street Fighter II:  This is impressive, folks, and very difficult.  If you are a fan of the Genesis rendition of this, it is a must play game.  I haven't enjoyed a fighting game like this in a while.

Sumo:  This game looks awesome!  I have no idea how to do anything but smack the opponent, cause everything is in Japanese.  Hit spacebar to slap, and use the directionals to walk.  If you can figure anything else: E-MAIL ME.  I will put instructions on this page.

War on Terror: Go straight into the heart of Afghanistan on four missions.  You shoot your way through several levels, before finally getting your hands on Osama himself.  Fight with valor!

Xiao Xiao 9: Remember when you were little, and you wished that the stick figures you drew on your homework could fight?  Well... I did!!! :-P  For those who stand with me on this, its a dream come true!  No stick people were harmed in the making of this game.

PUZZLES  (24)

Acno's Energizer: Assist a barely corporeal creature in getting nuclear material into the reactor of a transporter that sends him to the next level.

Alchemy: Use mystical runes to transmute lead plates into gold! 

Animal Maze Making Game: Mind-numbingly hard Japanese puzzle game.  Get that monkey home!!!

Bad Apple: Hungry???  This cute version of minesweeper involves eating apples and not eating the ones with worms in them.  A tasty little addition to this site.

Bauns: This odd little entry by Ferry Halim is a bizarre take on games such as Tetris.  Slingshot a steel ball at the glass bricks to break all of the same color.

Cow in the Shaft: Is this anything like Ghost in the Shell? No. Actually, a cow falls into a mine shaft and you have to get him safely to the bottom.

Cyber Mice Party: You are in command of a party of intellectually challenged rodentia.  Play Pied Piper and get them to safety.

Seattle Times Crossword: Oh boy, crossword puzzles!  This game is courtesy of the Seattle Times.  Every day is a new crossword puzzle, and they get harder as the week goes along until you get to the SATURDAY STUMPER!

Doom Funnel Chasers!: When you are attempting to solve a problem concerning wormholes and the fate of the entire universe... use DUCT TAPE!  Yet another production from the VeggieTales crew.  This is a variant of :Spaced Penguins" (see below).

Dyson Telescope: Leave it to the Brits to go through this much to sell a vacuum cleaner.  More power to them for trying... in the meantime, check out this awesome puzzle game.  Try to get the metal ball in the hole using the Dyson Telescopes.

Egg Run: I shall never look at my breakfast the same way again. Get this egg out of danger!

Lords III Catapult: Remember the old Q-Basic "Gorilla" game?  This is its great-great-great grandson.  Never before has physics been quite so entertaining.  Use your catapult to take apart a few castles.

Mouse: Check your manual dexterity.

NingPo Mahjongg:  Tile matching Mahjongg solitaire.  Hours of enjoyment and frustration all looped into one program!

Noah's Ark: "I'm gonna send thee two by two..."

Olympic Slider Puzzle: Fencing: Your typical slider puzzle game, this time themed with Athina, the female mascot of the Olympics dressed as an Olympic Fencer!

Playing with Fire: Okay... I don't know what to say here. It's fun. I don't know what the POINT is, but its fun. Try it out!

Piranhas: In this Q-Bertesque game, your goal is to collect keys and jewels while avoiding piranhas and grass. She must be a college student, cause she seems to have a problem with grass.

Puzzled Sheep:  Lets just say that sheep aren't exactly the most gifted of God's precious creatures.  Help the woolies go where they need to go.

Rocket Mania!: Connect fuses to launch Chinese rockets.  (Famous Last Words: "Hey guys, watch this!!!")

RSVP: You are hosting a dinner party.  Arrange the guests to where they are happy with their seating arrangements.  Don't put anyone next to someone they don't like!

Simon: Joy-of-joys!!!  One of the greatest games to ever go to handheld.  There is nothing like pretty blinking colored lights and beeps to keep your mind occupied for hours at a time.

Sudoku: the Japanese number puzzle has come to Mylcoti!

Tetris: Proof that the ever-living Commies were really trying to destroy us... by turning us into video game addicts!

Towers of Hanoi: A visually stunning rendition of the ancient puzzle game.

WordSearch: Select a category and circle as many of the words as you can find!  Hours of good, old fashioned entertainment.  This game uses Random Generation to make its puzzles, so you never play the same puzzle twice.

WEIRD (12)

Ant Ken Do: This is too weird.  I love stick fighting, so I found the idea of this game amusing.

Enlumine: cogent phlegmniscates for lexicon aggrandization

The Flash Mind Reader: This is creepy.  'Nuff said.

Insaniquarium: Ya know... I thought this was gonna be a normal  fish tank simulator until a space alien came out of nowhere and ate my fish -- then I understood the name. 

Mystery of Space and Time: Find items to help you move from room to room in this gorgeous mystery simulation!  This reminds me of a popular game from the '90s called The Pandora Directive.

O My Head: I don't have the words for this one.  It's a barbershop.  You are cutting hair.  This is demented.

Quest for the Rest: Another game by Amanita Design, the company that brought you the below "Samorost." This game was developed for the music group The Polyphonic Spree. It is a beatuiful "sequel" of sorts to Samorost, as it is in the same style. I will post the link to "Samorost 2" when Amanita finishes it, but that may be a few months.

Samorost: Hug a tree, save a world in this bizarre, but beautiful little game.

Shooting Salmon:  This really is a weird game.  Firstly, you aren't shooting salmon: you are stabbing them with a giant hook.  You run around a dock as a guy that looks like Jacques Coustaeu on crack.  Beat a few levels for a surprise that shows you why I put the game here.

The Truth Is Up There:  The aliens are coming, the aliens are coming!  Forget my quantum torpedo launcher... where is my camera!  A very simple, but strangely satisfying Ferry Halim game.

Warthog Launch: Run out of ammunition to shoot aliens with?  Pile grenades under a perfectly good jeep and blast that thing in the general direction of them.  The jeep will survive the attempt... trust me.

Wireframe Skeleton: an online skeletal marionette.  Perfect for science class... or Halloween.

PENGUIN FUN (14)

        There is something about penguins that amuses me, and I don't know what it is.  They are kinda like God's mulligan, perhaps.  I love them nonetheless.  I have found several cute little games involving our waddling friends.  There is a whole new section of penguin games below that has been thoroughly updated.  Don't miss it!  Submitted for your approval: send in the penguins.

Penguin Arcade: Don't let the futile flappers escape!  

Penguin Panic: Penguin diving at its finest.  Be the Titanic!  Aim for the icebergs!

Penguin Push: Flightless avian take on an old classic.

Penguin Puzzle: Match blocks of various colors.  Every move you make, more blocks are added in random locations.  FREEDOM FOR ALL PENGUINS!

Poke a Penguin: abuse an Antarctic animal

Spaced Penguins: penguins and astrophysics in one place -- it's like... bliss.

Penguins Ship Lander:  If God meant penguins to fly, He would have given them wings. Waitaminute...

Yeti Sports

        Okay... if you are wondering where Penguin Swing moved to... its here.  As it turns out, it was the first of the Yeti-Sports series.  Each of them involve abusing our fine featherless friends!!  They were all written by a guy named Christian Hilgert and a company called Edelweiss Medienwerkstatt and feature absolutely fantastic animation.  Enjoy these games, which are soon to become timeless classics.

Yeti-Sports I -Penguin Swing: Swingbattahbattahbatthaswing! Whack Penguins for distance! (The Original! a.ka. "Pengu Throw")

Yeti-Sports II - Orca Slap: Oh my goodness this game is almost euphoric.  From the makers of Penguin Swing, comes Orca Slap.  Once more we return to the Arctic where the little snazzy dressers slide off of a Killer Whale's back and leap into the air, so that you can throw a snowball at them and knock them against a target.

Yeti-Games III - Seal Bounce:  Okay... here we go again folks!  This time we are going for ALTITUDE!  Bounce them off seals for added height.  Test your skill and find out why penguins will never be initiated into the Top Gun Flight School. 

Yeti-Games IV - Albatross Overload:  Our friends at the Yeti-Sports team have finally figured out a new way for penguins to fly! (As if whacking the devil out of them with a ball-bat wasn't fun enough, right?)  Anyhoo...Chuck the little runt and see if the albatrosses will carry him off!   

Yeti-Games V - Flamingo Drive: Could the world of penguin sports become any more demented?!  Oh mercy, I sure hope so.  Once more we are sending our flightless friend airborne.  This time we take a page out of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and smack them with a flamingo golf club.  You have to see it to believe it!  There aren't the words to describe the dementia.

Yeti-Games VI - The Big Wave: Our favorite Yeti moves on to Hawai'i for a little bit of surfing! Let the games begin! Hang-Ten dude. Try out this 'tubular' edition to the Yetisports family.

Yeti-Games VII - Snowboard Freeride: Once more, Yeti and Pingu head back for cold weather. Take the slopes in the Austrian Alps for some serious shredding. Squish a few penguins with your board for some extra points!

Japanese Lessons:  About.com site guide Namiko Abe gives free lessons on learning to speak Japanese.  Totemo ii to omoimasu (I think it is very good).  Nihongo wa muzukashikunai to omou (I don't think Japanese is very difficult).  You just have to learn the grammar and words.  It's rules are easier than French by far.  Kentou!  (Good luck!)

Freelang Japanese/English Dictionary: a free downloadable dictionary program with nearly 60,000 entries.  The dictionary is in romanji, meaning Japanese written with Roman letters.  No need to know hiragana or katakana to understand this one.

French Military Victories: The results of a Google Search on French military victories *snicker snicker*

Heavens Above: Did you know that you can see satellites crossing the sky without a telescope?  Get the exact coordinates for satellites, iridium flares, and the International Space Station at Heavens Above.

Interactive Recorder Fingering Chart: This chart will tell you how to play every note possible on a recorder (wooden flute).

PowerPoint97 Reader: Have an important PowerPoint presentation that you want to show, but don't have PowerPoint?  Download this resource directly from Microsoft!

The Lavasseur Institute: My pet project.  T.L.I. is a solar information and data relay station.  On this page, you can access data from the GOES solar observatory system that is up to date.  I link to the charts, so they are updated whenever the actual ones are.  Until I figure out how to do an automatic refresh in html, you'll have to refresh the page every so often to get exacting data.  Now that the site is actually accessible through this, I'll expand it later to include more charts than it does.  Right now, it has the GOES Solar X-Ray Flux, the Estimated Kp Index (Geomagnetic Field), the GOES Magnetometer, and a reading of the current solar winds.  Also I include a display that monitors levels of geomagnetic activity and storms.

ITEM OF THE MONTH!

New Item Coming Soon...

The Solar Death Ray: OhmigoodnessIhavetohaveoneofthese!!!!! haha This is great. Some guy decided that it would be a great idea to get a bunch of mirrors together and create a machine that burns stuff. See the wild assortment of things that he has destroyed, ranging from chocolate bunnies to video tapes. Yeah!!!

The Pit Lane Two-Step:  This I.O.T.M. comes straight from David's kitchen.  I am a fan of Formula One racing, and have been for over a year.  Probably against better judgment, I pull for West McLaren Mercedes. (So we are having an off year!  If they could get the MP4-19 car straightened out to where it didn't blow up all the time we'd do very well!  Kimi Räikönnen was second place overall last year.)  Anyhoo... this was a video that I captured from the 2004 French Grand Prix at Circuit de Nevers, Magny-Cours.  Watch closely as Fernando Alonso (Renault) exits the pit lane.  One of the pit crew members for the team occupying the nearby pit area accidentally steps into the lane in front of the Renault and does a little dance to get out of the way.

BLEEX Project:  The Berkley Lower Extremity EXoskeleton.  We are Berkley of Borg.  Berkley has developed an exoskeleton that will allow the wearer to perform feats of superhuman strength.  This is no joke, folks.  Check this out!

Cat in the Kettle: Sing with me now, "There's cat in the kettle at the Peking Moon, the place I eat every day at noon..."  Oh come on, you know you'll sing along!  Don't try to deny it.

Nobel e-Museum:  The Official Website of the Nobel Prizes.  There is tons of data here about past winners in all categories, as well as several really neat games.  It's definitely something to take a look at, especially if you are a science or history buff.

 Xiaolin Mario! (or "Mario Time Attack"):  Every so often, a video, game, or site comes along that makes you step back and say... WHOA.  When this occurs, you feel somehow changed, or at least warm and fuzzy inside.  The item of the week is what I like to call XIAOLIN MARIO.  The kid in this video manages to beat Super Mario 3 in just over ELEVEN MINUTES, and somehow racks up more than 100 lives (note: SM3's counter maxes out at 99, so number of lives after that is speculation.)  Watch as Mario glides across the screen with the legendary grace and power of the Xiaolin monks of olde.  Submitted for your approval... 

Items that are new to this site will carry a button until my next update.
