APOLLOGAMES.CA sounds like fun if only..

Apollogames

Being interested in all things Apollo; I was quite interested in testing out APOLLOGAMES.CA It sounded like a pretty cool game idea. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get past the sign up using Safari. Flipped over to Firefox and all seemed to work fine.

Apollo Games comes from Guelph Ontario.

Our aim is to entertain and educate simultaneously, with equal attention to both these aspects of any game; and we recognize that games are an important but substantially underused way of learning effectively. We are community-based, collaborative, and committed to producing the highest quality games for young minds that can be found on the web.

 

It’s a slow load even for a high speed connection, well a few minutes. I guess that isn’t bad for what you get. I couldn’t get past the initial spaceship shoot em up part, maybe I’m showing my age. At any rate, I hear the game gets better. Perhaps you’ll have more patience than I did. I’ll have to get a kid over here to help me skip past the boring bits that require eye-hand coordination. The game needs an adult mode.
