Longtime fans of hockey videogames recognize that Electronic Arts' NHL 94 was the best hockey game of all time. There were all the fights, one-timers, screens, monster hits, the players' and teams' real names, not to mention some of the all time great players, like Mario and Wayne.

Fly Guy
This is one of the most unique and relaxing videogames I've ever played.
You're a guy, and you float around in the sky. It's very surreal and the music is hypnotic. I'm not even sure if there are any goals. Despite the Mac Plus graphics, it's a dreamy way to pass the time with a cup of Kona coffee.

Monopolizing History
The world's most popular board game developed differently than most other modern games or sports. Modern games tend to be invented by one single inventor, whereas traditional games have evolved over much longer periods.
Monopoly developed as a combination of evolution and invention, and represents wildly different economic and social points of view. Now, it's seen as a popular American icon, and has been played by over 750 million people, and spun off into countless versions.
Today's link is a review by David Parlett of a new book by Philip E Orbanes, called Monopoly: The World's Most Popular Game - And How It Got That Way. Good reading!
