    Wow, thanks for the help all, keep them coming! Thread updated. Looks like a great way to try some games.

    Please note if the iphone game has a different name, or is meaningfully different from the flash game.

    Downhill Bowling

    Note: The one I played months ago was not Flash, you needed the Unity player, which is quick and easy to install. I'm not sure about this version though, sorry.

    Added all that have been suggested so far and alphabetized them. Eventually it may make sense to add genres -- if you can stick that in any future suggestions, that would be great.

    You should have a different catagory for non-flash downloadable games. There are alot of them.
