    There aren't many, most are aimed for kids to enjoy during school or to follow the Farmville style craze of 'Slowly increase numbers by sitting here or pay us in small increments to raise your numbers'.

    My fellow Jewbrethren tend to make these latter forms of games, and it shows.

    So basically Ikariam is the same as Evony, War of Legends, Civilization World, eRepublik, etc? I personally don't find them that interesting. Click here, wait, click here, wait, click here, wait, click here and here, wait, click there, wait, etc. I honestly don't know how people actually find them fun, but whatever, let people do what they want.


    Fantastic Contraption is a classic one for me. I enjoyed playing it when it first came out. Simple and fun. I actually did pay for it to unlock the extra levels, and I found it worth it. I find simple physics games interesting like that I guess, as long as they are done well.

    I enjoyed Dragons of Atlantis for a long time, stopped with it now though.
    Yes, it was a little bit like thos stupid games Kouji mentioned but there was something unique in it.
    It had a build-in chat and a clan system, you could really attack others and so forth, really enjoyed.
    Train units and get power due building training an outposts with dragons.

    They changed the graphics now, don't like it :/
    Also they have made it you can raise dragons (eggs) now but I liked it more before because you could have only the 8 dragons on time and a outpost for each one but now it gets a little bit unlimited.

    I used to play Stick Arena competitively. Yes, I'm serious. They actually had a large thriving scene for the longest time. (I don't know if they do anymore though.) It's a pretty great game and people get serious with it.

    I ask myself: why do you like these cow clickers? What is interesting about that procedure: click a picture - wait - it turns into another picture, number counts up - click it again. Do you pay money so you can click faster at pictures? Sorry, this may sound sarcastic but without joking - I really want to know your motivation behind this.
    I know some people play it because they procastinate and that's the dumbest thing they can find do kill time. Others want to know what's coming next. But that's it?

    Some people see through and see the banal base schematic as you do, and trust me as thinking of interesting mechanics for games I always seem to come back to all of these games dumbing down to that unless they are fast paced, so I understand.

    The thing is, they add a layer of interest that is just enough to keep idiots entertained so they will make excuses for themselves when they find it fun "but it's fun" "it's a destresser" "it helps me deal with my anxiety" "it just feels good" "it's fun, why do you have to analyze it", etc, etc. Whatever the reason, people will defend it themselves, because it's so base and easy to understand that their mind can actually put it to the back of their mind and forget that they already chalked it down to being nothing, simply because someone affronted their method of enjoyment.

    Here is a somewhat good game: platform racer 3 . It's basically a 2d platform racing game (as stated by the name), however, it has other gamemodes such as deathmatch. It has a really powerful map editor and such for creating maps. Unfortuanatly, since crappy sparkworkz host it, it often gets too laggy to log in.

    I used to play Adventure Quest a long time ago, it was fairly interesting.
    Also, I would have kept playing Dead Frontier if they hadn't ported it over to the Unity engine (or at the very least, give a damned desktop client).
