HowStuffWorks "Cannon Challenge"

I got as far as #7 (~half way) and ran out of time, but it gives you a chance to calculate angles and speed to blow up the 'enemy'. I'll go back later today

My boss is not going to be happy you posted that. If I get fired I'll let you know.

When I saw your thread title I thought this was going to be about pumpkin' chunkin'.

Man , that is a challenge for an old man! (but probably not much for one of my Grandsons')-

Thanks Dave, that is a fun Game! I'm always looking for stuff like this-

Opens to a blank screen within How Stuff Works for me, which is probably just as well.....

Try again. I just clicked on my link and it opened just fine. A 'fresh' link here, but maybe that incoming snow has blanked Kansas : HowStuffWorks "Cannon Challenge".

I got to 8 and ran out of ammo that time, so the Evil Axis ran over my position

Craig - you just can't let those young whippersnappers get the best of you

Nick - Alt / Tab works real well when the boss appears out of nowhere

Dave, thanks for the alt/tab hint. I just did it and suddenly I went from my hot rod world to my work world and back. I'm going to try that tonight when my wife updates her "honey dew" list.

The new link works perfect. Neat game!!

I got the first enemy guns in six, used 74 & 100.. This reminds me of the old dos basic game gorrillas, where they tossed exploding bananas back and forst to each other. You controled speed and trajectory and you could also alter gravity! I wonder how many of you ever played that one!! LOL..

How about "Scorched Earth"?

gorrillas, Heck I forgot about that game. Loose track of time playing that game.

Bug, I'm actually amazed anyone replied that they had seen it! Seems like no-one heard of it and it came on millions of computers.

I once "hacked" the computer passwords at seared & blowbuck, The wife and I were playing the game gorrillas and the sales staff got angry thinking I had installed it! They tossed me out of the store!

I wonder what they thought the next morning when restarting all the computers and they did not have the new password! HAH!

Glad no one depended on me....

I got decent at figuring angles, trajectories and speeds after my wife introduced me to the current time waster, Angry Birds. Take a look at that one if you are of a mind to 'kill' pigs

good fun
I liked the gorrillas banana game of old
