![]() Upon mouse click, the companion instantly becomes a lifeless ragdoll you can drag all over the desktop and even watch it fall from the top of the screen and then as it struggles to get back on its feet. If it doesn’t do anything except to mimic breathing, then wait until you click it. Once you made up your mind, a 3D animated companion is brought on your desktop. There isn’t any kind of preview for these so-called particles so you have to go through each to discover how much fun it can be. The initial launch brings up a modern prompt that asks you to choose from three different particles: Higgs, Boson, and Quark. With the setup process taking only a little of your time, your desktop can become a playground for you and a bunch of virtual companions before you know it. Bring a futuristic companion on your desktop Desktop gadgets and toys like Sparticles are the solution here. There’s another type of fun you can have right on your desktop and in the same time you’re doing something else. If you like Dilbert's Desktop Toys, you will love Revenge of The Toys.There’s a lot of fun you can have on a computer, and just think about the amount and diversity of video games alone. If gaming at work is frowned upon, I wouldn't risk my job for these simple little games." But well, the ability to procrastinate at work once in a while is what makes work worthwhile, right? ) Highly recommended, especially for Dilberts (including yours truly) everywhere. If you like to play quick games as a break and Solitaire isn't doing it for you anymore then these games might be nice to have on the old work PC. ![]() The reply feature allows you to record your actions, the screen saver activates various games as screen savers, and you can also save the screen as a clipboard file to share with friends or manipulate in Microsoft Paint or in a photo processing program. ![]() Revenge of the Toys offers some unique features that allows you to share the havoc you wreak on your desktop. Just pull our your bazooka and blow away your desktop. The Shooting Gallery is great everytime you see your co-worker tending that ridiculous bonsai plant, get a wiff of someone's rotting chicken in the company fridge or realize that your lunch consists of a rather small portion of leftover chinese food because your roommate helped himself to it for breakfast. I liked the pong-like Ricochet and the crazy Shooting Gallery (with a bazooka no less!) to be the best. Enough to make you miss the water cooler talk but not enough to last through lunch. ![]() The games vary in quality but they are all about quick arcade thrills - meant to be played for just a few minutes at a time. The games play on top of your work and even though many of the games seem to completely destroy the desktop, everything turns back to normal at the end of a game. "There are nine games in this collection including Ricochet (an intergalactic game of coordination), Kung Fu Coffee (kick and punch office chairs and other office stuff), Shooting Gallery (use your bazooka to take out bonsai trees, teddy bears and rotting chicken), Fishing (cast a line into your desktop), Nail 'Em (nail the knobs and smash away stress), Basketball (moving hoops), Venus Flytrap (your fly infested desktop provides the food of life for this potted meat eater), DeBugger (a robotic reptile must salvage your screen by eating pests) and Monster Factory (customize your own monster by choosing heads, torsos and limbs and send it into battle). Games Domain's review for this overlooked old game says volumes about its charm: The games are all mindless fun (Nail 'Em is my favorite), and many are gory, but they all provide a great diversion during coffee break or during office hours. Best considered as the sequel to zany Dilbert's Desktop Games developed by the same company, Revenge of The Toys is a great collection of fun mini-arcade games you can play from your desktop. ![]()
