Holiday Shockwave Sites

I hope everyone has enjoyed looking at the holiday-related Shockwave games that are available on the Internet. This week we'll take a look at the Holiday Shockwave sites available on the Internet.

Most of these sites are fairly large so you may want to have a 28.8 or better connection to the Net before trying to visit them. I tried each one with a 14.4 connection and found it to be tolerable, but you may not agree.


Happy Holidays from Stacy

Santa's hungry! Feed him some cookies. This little animation has some great interactivity. In this one, Santa comes down the chimney, and then dishes out quite a few presents for you. After this, you can unwrap the presents to see what you have received. Try clicking on the light switch on the wall also, it holds a cool little surprise.

Christmas Cocktails at Ultra Lounge

Have a martini and enjoy the holiday tunes in Shockwave Audio! This is a great Shockwave Audio site. It has a large number of holiday tunes that stream across the Internet using Shockwave Audio. I didn't have time to listen to all of the tunes, but most are standards featuring artists you probably know, so it's worth the time to check it out.

Well, that's it for the holiday Shockwave sites. Next week we'll take a look at which ones captured the reader's hearts (and votes). We'll also be taking a look at what we'll be doing in the New Year. This year we have many examples, tutorials, and even interviews planned, so we shouldn't be going anywhere but up.

See you next week.
