Zaph's Online Game Recommendations

This is a list of the online games that I play, and that are actually fun and free !

I obviously cannot take any responsibility for the content you might find inside these sites, but I haven't listed anything that I've thought would be objectionable.

If you find a cool online game that is FREE then send me an email and let me know about it: zaph-og@torps.com 

Note: These games have no connection to my day job, as a producer of games for Infogrames.

Buy and sell shares in Hollywood movies, a lot more fun than it sounds. You'll need to play for years to get really good at it!

17-Aug-2001 10/10 ASX Charity Sharemarket game:
The Australian Stock Exchange runs a charity sharemarket trading game once every year or so.  You have 8 weeks to trade shares (real companies, real prices, fake shares) and finish on top.  Cash prizes to the winners each year.

The ASX regularly starts new competitions (about 2 per year)

Australians only (I think) ASX
