> So how do people like this site?

I like it. The inclusion of "Rock, Paper, Scissors" rather surprised me at first, since it is merely a game of luck, while all the others require some modicum of strategy. My personal favorite is the "guess-the-color-sequence-game" (the proper name escapes me at the moment), after that, I lean toward Hangman. Speaking of which, you certainly came up with some odd Hangman words, didn't you! :-} I tried once, got something like "spyrocite," and just got scared off. :-}

The only improvement I can think of is a "new game" button: something to allow for the play of another game of the same thing without having to go back through the main page. It's not rediculously important, but it would be helpful.

> I was going to list my personal favorite games, but then I realized I can't narrow it down beyond five: Hangman, Memory, Spoint, Exterminator, and Cheerio. Cheerio was by far the hardest to write due to all the AI needed so the computer can play reasonably well.

I can think of a favorite game of mine that should be included: Reversi. Of course, it would be a nightmare to code (I don't even want to think about it), but I can always dream.

> So far, mere hours after the site's release, more games of Hangman have been played than any other game, followed by Exterminator and Memory. (I just love stats.)

I've still not tried several of them - Exterminator sounds interesting, but a bit too much running around and too little bandwidth to handle so many refreshes. I'll have to try it over a T1 next time I get the chance. It's the same problem I have with Enchanted Forest.
