Favorite little gaming diversions

[javapadawan]

The recent thread on NetHack got me thinking about my favorite little gaming diversions for when work is slow and/or the boss isn't around.

Most of these links I've picked up in these forums, some very recently. I love stuff like this, so I'm hoping others will add their favorites to the list.

Ah, I'd heard of that, but never tried it until now. Neat!

There's a few Yahoo games in that vein that I like:
Text Twist (http://games.yahoo.com/games/downloads/tx.html)
Bookworm (http://games.yahoo.com/games/downloads/bw.html)
Alchemy (http://games.yahoo.com/games/downloads/al.html)

However, I was most pleased to find Zork I, II, and III for download here:

Oh, me neither. I was, er, speaking hypothetically.
