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.

It is time for legislation to distribute wealth... or for revolution to distribute poverty!
Civilization is a parasite on the man with the hoe.
To define good as that which survives and bad as that which goes under.
Apparently it was fear that first made the gods.
Nature, meaning total reality and its processes.
Generations of men establish a growing mastery over the earth, but they are destined to become fossils in its soil.

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...
