I guess this is frontier between "other games", "computer talk" and "OT", but i decided for OT because it's not a matter of technical expertise nor am I speaking of a game in particular.
Here's the deal:
I have installed linux on my PC,and with the ubuntu bundle I have downloaded a few interesting games, like Pingus (a version of lemmings), a remake of the classic "moon lander", "tetris", "asteroids", and other simple ones that are good to play when I have to kill short intervals.
Thing is I have decided to install Vista on my laptop strictly because I was having trouble getting some of my hardware to work on Linux.
Only now I'd like to add back some of these non-intrusive quick-playing simple games, but obviously the linux versions I used will not work on windows (the asteroids game - maelstron - has a windows version that I already got).
It's relatively simple finding free versions on the web for most of these games for windows (except lemmings), but I'm coming into flash on-line versions, and I'm not often finding a download option.
As so, I'd like to ask if it's possible to download flash applications (not only the games, but in general) even if the website does not offer a donwload link? Will I need software for that?
Alternatively, anyone can hint me as to where can I find minimally decent looking versions of these classic games for windows platform (particularly moon lander and tetris; lemmings if possible)?
