Note that not all of the casual games are available online, and the ones that are have cut-down gameplay/graphics/missing voice acting/etc. I know that the following work well: 1. Virtual City (http://www.awem.com/virtual-city.html) 2. Born into Darkness (http://www.awem.com/born-into-darkness.html) 3. Westward 4: All Aboard (http://www.awem.com/westward-iv-all-aboard.html) 4. Trapped, The Abduction (http://www.awem.com/trapped-the-abduction.html) 5. Virtual Families (http://www.awem.com/virtual-families.html) 6. Aztec Tribe (http://www.awem.com/aztec-tribe.html) 7. My Kingdom For The Princess (http://www.awem.com/my-kingdom-for-the-princess.html) 8. Autumns Treasures: The Jade Coin (http://www.awem.com/autumns-treasures%3A-the-jade-coin.html) My Kingdom for the Princess is the only one of these that I am aware of that has a cut-down online version available. I know that the following don't work yet: 1. Architect: Episode 1 (http://www.awem.com/architect-episode-1.html) -- Crashes when starting a game. 2. Mishap: An Accidental Haunting (http://www.awem.com/mishap-an-accidental-haunting.html) -- Does not show anything on the screen. - Reece
