- daghostdog, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20I've played quite a few of these. The nice part about them is the fact that they provide quick fun on demand. Great for work in some cases where you need to de-stress for a few minutes. Great Article!!

The last one, you need to click on "fan and ball" to see the good stuff. - waterandfood, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5See also:

http://icculus.org/neverball/#screenshots - spudnic, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8Why? Site is down for me and it's handy to have the duggmirror link there
- aywwts4, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Armadillo Run has captivated my interest for the last week.

Well worth the 20 bucks. - algernon2k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Avian: I haven't seen Neverball before--I'll add it to my review queue. Thanks! I should have free time again starting next week for more reviews.
- retral, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Love physics games, recently played/beat armadillo run which was pretty cool, and I've played bridge builder (aka 2, and pontifex), flatout 2, Kumoon, plasma pong (meh), ragdoll masters, stair/truck dismount, trials and a few others - most were pretty cool so I'll be sure to check the other ones out.
- algernon2k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I did a few things on the server, it should be speedier now. Enjoy!
-Matthew (Fun-Motion) - spyrochaete, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Fun fact - Seamus Blackley, who was one of the project leads on the original Xbox, was a physics programmer on some of the best physics games of all time! He programmed physics for such games as Ultima Underworld, System Shock, Jurassic Park: Tresspasser, and more.
- algernon2k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'll try to get the server speed sorted out ASAP. Sorry about that!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Does anyone have a Torrents of track mainia nations. looks like the best game ever. at the moment i will be able to play it in 36 years. (i have a fast connection BTW)
- MrSidnet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Surprised N isnt on the list. That one's a classic.
- TheDarkTipper, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1My friends and I have been playing TG Motocross 2 since it came out, and still can't beat it.
- pecet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i think Koules is not Physic game...
- cryonix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1no starforce on TMnations. its only an update if you already have it on your computer. TM sunrise installs StarForce.
- cryonix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1amazing i submitten this page like 4 months ago. got maybe 10 diggs. about time ya'll recognise this site.
- algernon2k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Physics != Dynamics (the physics of motion)
Zen Bondage was an interesting game. It primarily deals with spatial relationships, sure, but I decided that was "physical" enough.
There's an interview with me--as the subject--where the interviewer really hammered on physics games that aren't just dynamics. His thesis is actually that games misrepresent actual physics and damage society's understanding of science. It talks a little about the definition of physics games as I use it: http://www.fun-motion.com/interviews/matthew-wegner/ - wassupening, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0when I submitted my recently Dugg list of Physics games, this popped up as one of the duplicate possibilities and I noticed that I had basically made a shortened version of his list. A quite nice site.
- rnguyen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I wonder how many of these are actual physics games:
Zen bondage:
Zen Bondage isn’t a physics game in the typical sense of object dynamics. The game has nothing to do with inertia, forces, and gravity. Instead, it simulates a very narrow piece of reality—tying rope around an object. It does this very, very well. The goal of the game is to completely cover entire object with rope. Colored paint emanates from the rope to visually represent your progress. The trick is in covering the concave areas. For instance, if you accidentally span a gap with rope there isn’t any way to thread through the newly-created tunnel. - algernon2k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Try grabbing it off NVIDIA -- their servers are usually blazing: http://www.nzone.com/object/nzone_tmnations_downloads.html
(be warned, though, it uses StarForce) - algernon2k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0N's in my queue. Raigan's working on a bipedal physics game as his next title, too: http://www.tigsource.com/articles/2006/07/31/metanets-next-game
The other classic not yet reviewed on the site is Elastomania. I get an email about my omission practically every day.
-Matthew (Fun-Motion) - eugenpatrik, on 01/21/2009, -0/+0Any way we could get these ranked by a 5-star rating? Something to narrow it down a bit.
I read once at the http://hotnews.xtreemhost.com/ - darkwalter, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0This list is clearly invalid because it lacks Koules:
