 | I once commented how it'd be cool to, say, play mario brothers and missile command at the same time to maximize
 entertainment with multiple tasks/ stimulus response.
 
 Well I found a game like that here, where you play
 4 mini arcade games at once, constantly juggling between
 them simultaneously. This has potential and is fun but too
 easy and could have been a lot better. The games are overly
 simple and require a minimum of lazy mouse clicks to keep
 from dying.
 There are different games to choose from but this is what I
 had:
 top left window: a guy is walking constantly, just click on
 the screen to make him jump (to avoid pitfalls or collect
 items)
 
 top right window: pole position racing type thing, but you
 haredly ever have to even change lanes which makes the whole
 thing almost like 3 games in one.
 
 lower left window: move mouse to shoot bad guys in windows
 and avoid good guys. It's pace is slow like the other
 games.
 
 lower right window: baseball, just hit the ball at the right
 time which is easy.
 
 It's fun to keep your mind overly occupied with information
 overload but this didn't really cut it 100%. What happens is
 all 4 games just sort of merge into 1. You learn the
 behavior then just use peripheral vision to click on the
 appropriate screens at appropriate times with appropriate
 timing. What would be better is if it was a single game, but
 that one game had 4 different things to concentrate on at
 once.. also if it was faster paced and harder.

 | "So red the rose" is a fantastic album, and the presence of Sting somewhere in the background shouldn't put you off.
 It's prog-synth pop and is a fabulous 80s minor classic.

 | I kept going and going until I eventually had to quit. You can choose your own games in the custom option at the
 beginning. I played the tetris one though and I couldn't
 figure out how to flip the stupid shapes so I died...
