Welcome to my Klik & Play page. I'm sure you are asking yourself, "What's Klik & Play?" Well, let me tell you. Klik & Play (fondly referred to by insiders as "KNP") is software written by Europress that allows the average Windows computer user to create games by pointing, clicking and determining events that occur during the course of a game. With just a few clicks, the novice computer user can create multilevel games that they've always wanted to become reality.

My kids and I first discovered KNP as a demo on a CD-ROM. The demo allowed limited games creation and gave us a feel of how the software worked. My kids played with the demo for hours and kept asking to get the full version. We called the 1-800 number and found it disconnected. We went to Maxis (the publisher of KNP) and repeatedly ran into dead ends. After two years, we were able to find a copy and snatched it up.

Since then, we have created a number of games and have had the time of our lives. One of the great things about KNP is that nearly all of the games are reverse compatible back to Windows 3.X. Games created on Windows 98 can be played by any previous version of Windows and can be played on almost any speed of computer. (Instructions to order Klik & Play are at the bottom of the page.)

The equipment needed to play KNP games is pretty basic:

Soundcard with midi support
Windows 3.X, Windows 95 or Windows 98
An UnZIPing Program

[Setting the monitor to 800 X 600 pixels on a True Color 24 bit color grid will allow the KNP graphics to operate without trouble. (If your game plays but the graphics are jumbled, go to "Start", "Settings", "Control Panel" and then click on "Display" to make adjustments.)]

The games that we make are pretty low-rent but fun to play nonetheless.

Here are the downloads...
Klik & Play Games Written at Our House
Bathtub Vs. the Evil Totem Pole A bizarre waste of technology that involves a bathtub catching gems and other items being thrown around by The Evil Totem Pole. (5 levels)

Ball Monitor A game about a kid collecting four-square balls in a playground. The kid must avoid cars, UFOs, grenades and other pitfalls in order get brownie points from the coach. Probably the best game on this page. (12 levels)

The Safety Unawareness Game I was driving an 18 wheeler at the time I wrote this game. (I was actually IN my Kenworth at the time.) The company I worked for made me mad so I wrote this game and sent it to them. Needless to say, I don't work for them any more. The player drives a truck and runs over as many cars as possible while avoiding cones and injured pedestrians. (1 never-ending level)

HyperPolo! A strange game inspired by the usenet newsgroup alt.pave.the.earth. Two cars bounce a running man around the screen until the man runs into a vaporizer (AKA "goal"). HyperPolo is one of the first games we wrote with KNP and is probably one of the most imaginative games ever written for a computer.

Games You CAN'T Lose... "Games You CAN'T Lose..." (GYCL) is geared toward the 'sensitive' gamers of the new millenium. GYCL's main concern is for the well being of the modern player's fragile ego. By presenting 'games' that have an 'assured positive outcome', GYCL reinforces the players' touchy self-esteem.
GYCL presents a set of 7 different games that you can NOT lose. The games are simple and relatively 'fun':
Nuke the Survivalists! - Dirigible! - Space Bricks! - Dork Out! - Ultra Ping-Pong! - Observe Gravity! - Click on Something! (7 Levels)

Pong 2 My son's variation on Pong. Pretty weird stuff. (1 Level)

Space Invaders Another game written by my son. It's a mouse driven game where the player must shoot the incoming ships before they hit your rocket launcher. A Missile Command knock-off. (Number of levels: Unknown)

Kathy's Game Kathy, my wife, wrote this game as a test of KNP. This game looks as if it were written by someone that had ingested large amounts of hallucinogenics prior to getting on the computer. Truly bizarre. A barrel shoots candy canes at the incoming hamburgers from another planet. There's no exit screen or anything, it just ends. Not too bad for a first attempt. (1 Level)

Operation: Cuddle Kill The following greeting was issued to me on the newsgroup alt.cuddle...
"NewbieHugs, NewbieCuddles, NewbieWuzzles, NewbieSnuggles, NewbieLaughs, NewbieTugs, NewbieTickles, NewbieGiggles, NewbieSmiles, NewbieGrins, NewbieChokolit and Newbie*Nice*To*Meet*You*Greetings."
Needless to say, the sentence left me running for the airsick bag and then catapulted me toward the computer to add yet another entry to my growing list of "Oh, look at who's hacking me off today!" games.
This game was made with The Games Factory, a Klik and Play Upgrade. (10 Levels)

Other Klik & Play Games
Alien Assassin A game where the player clicks on incoming creatures in order to destroy them. An OK game but it could really use a crosshair or something.

Peanut Hunt Really weird. An elephant goes around avoiding kung-fu masters while picking up peanuts.

Paintball Wars A two player game of paintball. A well done game.
