It started with "Whack-a-Caesar", created for a Saturnalia celebration, which was far more popular than I imagined. The concept behind the game - bash things on the head with a hammer to score points - isn't exactly new, but it did get me thinking: I could make more of these games and set them all in an historical setting! And so it came to pass that "Flash Games with an Historical Theme" was born.

Two years and a few dubiously historical games later, I decided to abandon the worthy and educational "historical" aspect and just make games that appealed to me. Some of them may be even be historical. And so, it came to pass that "Flash Games" was reborn!

Whack-a-Caesar

The first game I ever made. It's a bit creaky now, though. Inspired by those wacky Roman Emperors who completely lost the plot as far as running a large empire is concerned…

Use the mallet to whack Caesars on the head to score points and work out some pent-up issues.
