PC Windows - Infectuous (freeware)

Unusual. Lobo, of Infectuous, has created a unique and beautifully oriental one-switch game in Gambler. You can choose from five quirky mini-games with the aim of making money that you then gamble away in a simple dice game.

The five mini-games include some mellow fishing, clay-pigeon shooting and dodging a dragon in a big upturned tin bath(!). Pretty wonderful fun.

Keyboard controls: SPACE BAR for all game playing functions. LEFT-MOUSE click or ESCAPE quit a mini-game or exit the game entirely if pressed at the main-menu screen.

Playing this game requires varying degrees of skill and understanding. The fishing can be played with skill, or on a pot-luck basis (you need to catch bees in the Leviathan game for bait first though). The Ship of Fools (see image top) game can be played just by rapidly tapping SPACE. The gambling game requires accurate timing and held presses to navigate the menus.
