Frustrating...

Yahoo's games are Windows-only, right?

At least for most of the web ones, *wrong*. By using the debug menu on Safari, and getting it to ID itself as Win IE 6, I can play about 9/10 of the games I've tried so far on Yahoo!Games.

Now, not all of Yahoo can be tricked like this - Yahoo!Avatars, for example, still sees through Safari's agent switch - but still, I can't believe that Yahoo excludes Mac and Unix users from the web versions of its games (which are in Shockwave and Java) just because we can't use the downloaded versions.

ETA: Just confirmed that one of them, "Dinner Dash", is definitely playable via the creator's website without having to switch browser ID, and in fact, has a Mac version!

A very good idea....

For those creative types that have friended me, check this out. I found this off the gen_fic_crit email list - it's an auction where you can donate your writing/artistry skills (and more mundane items).

ETA: tptigger and I have put in a joint auction item. How about you?
