Are you asking for a challenge?!?

That little gem came from the Homestarrunner website, they have lots of funny cartoons and whatnot there for you to view and enjoy. But I'm not here to talk about web cartoons with you (no matter how funny they may be). I'd like to discuss...N-Game.

N-Game (see the Wikipedia article for download links), is a fun, yet extremely challenging side scrolling 2D game available from the folks at Metanet Software. It basically involves you, a ninja, and you've got to bounce off of walls, collect gold, dodge missles, and reach the end of the level. It's a great "Pick up and play" type game, because you can play it in little small bits, if you're, for example, waiting for something to load, or you can sit down for a long session and have fun with it that way.

I like playing it with "Joy2Key", which emulates Keyboard presses through a Joystick (Google Joy2Key for a download), so I can play N-Game with a gamepad, and get even better scores. Hence the title of this entry, it is a VERY challenging game. I've never been able to beat an entire block of levels, and in my opinion, the ones donated by the users are extremely difficult, I can't even mess with those.

Here is a sample Windows Media File:
