A list of games you can download, and play in Windows. Most systems can suitably handle most of these games, so no need to worry if you've a slow machine. To help neaten things up, I've moved all my main Platdude games to their own (URL "https://AGameAWeek.com/?page_id=2">JNKPlat) page. The (URL "https://AGameAWeek.com/?page_id=28">Greenie) page has become home to some of my Remakes.

Nothing special this week. If you knew me at the time I did Green's Tiny Collection, then you've no doubt seen this game. <img src="https://AGameAWeek.com/shots/bouncer1.png"> I thought I'd post it, though, to remind myself of what a great idea it once was.

A weekly challenge. Make a game based upon a given theme, or task. Everyone who enters gets put through for a vote. But it's not really about the winning.

Platdude. A 16 pixel, 3 color character. Deftly defying the world of 3D models and amazing realism, in favour of good old fashioned gameplay. Over the years, Platdude has been in plenty of games.. Here's an approximate history of Platdude, along with Downloads where appropriate. (Or skip to the bottom for the latest stuff!)
