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. http://www.gameresort.com/dhbowling/web
BOUNCE TRAP (sans tilt): Flash Version: http://www.playscreen.com/ps/index.php/gallery/show/191/21.html
Simpler version of Pigs a Pop'n playable on Firefox and Safari AND in the iPhone/Android/Palm Pre browsers: http://www.playscreen.com/iphone/pigsapopn/main.htm In fact several of our casino and other games started life as web apps for the iPhone. http://www.playscreen.com/iphone/fun4iphone.htm
Azkend: http://www.mythpeople.com/Play_Online/azkend.html Now that the list is becoming larger, it might make sense to alphabetize the games.
Peggle. I'm suprised that nobody has mentioned that one already. http://www.popcap.com/games/peggle (Free downloadable trial)
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.
