Pac-Xon - Two Great Games in One

Pac-Xon combines two great arcade classics, Pac-Man and Qix, into an extremely fun new game. You play as Pac-Man and your objective is to capture 80% of the screen by dividing sections off from the baddies. Inky, Blinky and all the other Pac-Man Enemies float around the playfield trying to attack Pac-Man.

Using the arrow keys, guide Pac-Man across the playfield, claiming sections of the board. If an enemy touches Pac-Man or his uncompleted path, Pac-Man will wither and die. In later levels, ghosts and other enemies have more tricks up their sleeves…patrolling the perimeter, eating away at the areas you’ve already claimed and lurking about in the ’safe areas’ of the screen. Once you have claimed 80% or more of the field, you move on to a more challenging level.

The fun of both arcade classics has been captured very well here. Beginners can pick up game play easily, so about anyone can get a good 10 minutes of play time in before dying.

Whack Your Boss - Release Your Anger

Who out there, at one time or another, hasn’t thought of doing something nasty to your supervisor or boss? In this day of lawsuits and violence, you are better left keeping your sinister desires to yourself. But instead of acting out your violent fantasies in real life, you can find relief just a click away.

This funny and gory little app features a disgruntled office worker minding his own business in his cubicle. His supervisor comes in to give him a lecture on how poor he has performed this week and the little fellow (controlled by you), can’t wait to release his wrath. Using any one of 17 different objects in the cubicle you can completely and violently do your boss in. The animations are graphic and hysterical (not suitable for the wee ones).

I’m sure even the supervisors in the office will get a kick out of this great tounge in cheek web site.

Note: The Funhouse does not condone acts of violence against your boss. They still have the power to fire you.

Blooperama 1 - Diva of Bloopers

Seattle’s own Connie Thompson of KOMO 4 News has a knack of flipping words around or misreading her prompter often with hilarious results. This video represents some of her most memorable moments. The Funhouse respects and appreciates Connie and believes she makes the news worth watching in Seattle, so be kind to her with your comments. We need more Connie!
