Rocket Mania was my favourite. I wish I could still play it.

Anyone here remember Pogo.com? It was PopCap/EA's browser based game offering. I remember playing the really shitty risk game on there with friends back in the day. It was basically frozen in time until recently. Now caters towards tech literate Boomers/Gen X.

EDIT: Found a Screen Recording of the original Risk game on YouTube, thought I'd share :-)

Posting this video of a Peggle mod because it's a smorgasbord of pretty much the entire modding community.
There's shit in this that made me choke with laughter but there's also the usual suspects putting in their lame OCs and referencing stuff that easily identifies them.
If you can only watch one chapter of this, check out the Zelda YTP bit. It's genius.

Yeah, most are stored as MO3 files, which are like MODs on crack. Pretty much any XM-compatible tracker can play them, personally I'd recommend XMPlay, though iirc VLC supports them, too.
PopCap hired some veteran demoscene composers back in the day, so it's no big surprise, lol.

IIRC the BASS Sound Library which is the origin of the format is actually a demoscene production.

Bejeweled Twist's soundtrack is catchy as fuck. The Blitz mode song is top tier gold.

Or you can use OpenMPT, which allows you to view the instrument for each channel and allows you to save them so you can make your own remixes

I love Bejeweled and Peggle and Plants vs. Zombies. I’m not even going to lie, Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare and its sequel were the last times I’ve had fun in an online game. I didn’t even buy it for myself, I bought it for one of my younger cousins and I practically stole it. It was definitely the last two good games EA put out in my opinion, and I’m utterly disappointed that they tried to cash in on the hero-shooter craze with Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville when Garden Warfare was already a solid class shooter. Playing as Foot Soldier and his subclasses was incredibly satisfying.

The mad lads turned a casual top-down tower defense game into a third-person shooter and actually managed to make it work.

I love the Garden Warfare games, they've very underrated and one of the last bastions of class-based shooters.
