Review (in 1996):

Gid's Web Games is a cool game site dedicated to the aimless pursuit of multiplayer games and solitaire. Try your mouse at Webtris, a multiuser variation of Tetris (which doesn't become a game of strategy as much as a race to access the game computer first), or play a few rounds of "marble solitaire", a jump-the-pegs sort of game where you aim to leave only one marble on the board. Or take a shot at the Cube or Blobs, a couple of pan-dimensional brain-teasers.

As interesting as the games are, they can be awkward with a Web interface: for most games, you click on a piece and load a page, then click where you want the piece to go, which loads another page. A fast connection and Netscape are almost essential here.

As reviewed in the 1996 "World Wide Web Top 1000" - a review of the Top 5% of all Web Sites in 1996.
