What legal, fun games are there to play in SL? I've heard of Zyngo (sp?) but I don't know what it is. I don't mean games like the ones where you put money in and it randomly distributes it after a while, but rather ones that require some level of participation and/or skill. Social interaction would be nice, as well. I was a dance once where there was a trivia quiz going on (I won forty Lindens! It's true!) and that was fun.
What do you like to play and where?

Primtionary is pretty cool. We have a games night and folks seem to like playing an sl version of scrabble and some other ones we have out. There is also a very popular sustainability quiz that asks you to answer questions in order to proceed and search for the next kiosk with the next question. Along this same vein i love playing trivia games at dances etc as well.

Hmmmm....does winning make one a master?
I just was poking around looking at Primtionary and discovered that the Events search has a Games/Contests category!  _____________________

Madpeas. They have several different games, all exploration and puzzle-related. Put aside some time, it's challenging and expertly done.

Combat Cards is a strategy and bluff game that can be played with demo huds (free) or you can build your own custom deck . Currently there are over 50 cards in two series.
Arenas are in different styles and are free (and give out demos and things). Combat Cards website] We have Sunday tournaments at 2pm, but Spaceport does Saturday at 6pm tournaments - for linden. You can just get an arena and play your friends, or join in the demo and custom deck tournaments.  _____________________

Browsing the Games forum here in the SL forums might yield some info on SL games.
/165/1.html Not to say that it's an event listing, or contains a nice succinct list of the "best" legal games in SL, but I'll wager there's some discussion of games there from time to time. XStreet might have something in their game category. https://www.xstreetsl.com/modules.php?CategoryID=20&SearchCurrentCategory=on&name=Marketplace&SearchKeyword=games _____________________

Neo-Realms is another fishing system with tournaments and trophies for 1st 2nd and 3rd place and best catch. There is also a hudgame called FishGolf that you can play while fishing. Tiny Empires is another popular SL game which I never really bothered to understand or play. |

I second the vote for mad pea productions-(enjoyable problem-solving stuff)..also try Numbakulla-(a very immersive mystery to solve)- saw some russian roulette at Ice (try that witha friend..it's just not the same on your own somehow)

My best guess is that if games are in SL they must be legal or LL would sling them out.I could be wrong though.

Everything is legal, as long as you don't get caught.

Oh, the snowball thrower can be good fun, and murderskate, and jumping freebie race cars places gravity would forbid in RL, if those are games.

04-07-2009 21:46
they are alot of illegal games out there again, blackjack,slot machines that you just put the money in and do nothing, what you want to do in search put gaming and just look at all the places that have gaming,and you can find the blackjack tables,not everyplace has them,but some do,second life doesnt go looking for them,but if someone bitchs about them they will take them down.they are some nice slot machines out there that play like the real thing,there is blackjack 21 with a score that is legal,you just need to look for them.it ok to play illegal games but the poeple who put them out can get in trouble,,,so play away !! and gamble your heart out !!!!

DMC, Zyngo, Hokus Pokus, Blackout, and Taxi are my current favorites. For a social component, there are multiplayer versions of DMC, Zyngo, Blackout, and a few others that are a lot of fun.
