The games on this page represent an interesting piece of internet history.  Remember back in 1999, when all kinds of freaks were opening up websites where you could buy sweaters for your turtle, or order a cheesecake and have it delivered by a swimsuit model ?  Well, back then an upstart company named 'ThingWorld' thought they could make money creating little animated web objects.  Needless to say, they were wrong and in 2001 joined Enron.com as roadkill on the information super-highway.  Nevertheless the games are still fun; you can see what ThingWorld's site used to look like here:
