LF: Color Lines Game

Looking for a "Color Lines" game that can be played standalone from a
floppy disk, under Windows.

*** Must be no-install / no registry entries ***

Yes, it's for the office. }:O)

I found a JS version online (below) to show the game I mean.

This is unsuitable since the computer I need it for is not online.

Even a Shockwave Flash version would do -- I can simply create a Flash
projector file from it. Projectors don't write to the registry in any
way, do they? That would sink that idea pretty quick.

Thanks.

(Stupid, goddamn registry... what a retarded concept *that* was!)

The creator of the game says that you are free to use it as long as it
contains a link to his site.

You can use free this game in your site, but please create anywhere link to
my site.

Now, this will not be a problem because you are not putting it on a
web-site. So, if you want to be able to use this game while "not" on-line,
then just right-click each of the links below one at a time and choose "save
as" to save them to the same folder (i.e. "jsLines") on a floppy disk (or
your hard-drive). To run the game just open that folder and double-click
the file "lines.htm". You will be running the game in a web-browser window,
but no need to be on-line. :)

Oh, it will create a cookie and put it in your Temporary Internet Files
folder for the browser that you are using (i.e. Internet Explorer, Netscape,
etc.) and the name of the cookie will be the same as the folder that the
game is being run from (i.e. "jsLines\"). So, you may want to delete that
cookie (or clear your TIF) if you are worried that someone will find it
later (it uses the cookie to keep track of your scores, etc.). ;)

Enjoy! :)

I hadn't thought of that. }:O)

The game (link) I used as an example is a bit crappy in the graphics
department, though. I'll need to find something not so 1980.

Still open to suggestions/pointers...
