Sumotori: Best Free PC Game Ever

Sumotori

This very simple, free, 96k (very, very small) game is one of the funnest that I have ever played. The mechanics are simple, one button to move forward, one button to push with one hand, and one button to push with two hands. The point is to not be the first one knocked down, but that it easier said than done. Your character moves like someone on the verge of dying of alcohol poisoning, and there really isn’t a sure-fire way of staying vertical. The most fun of the game comes from either watching the characters stumble around trying to stay standing for long enough to bow to one another or playing the super-secret hidden mode (started by breaking the corner of the wall that is visible in the right-most gap between the bars on the title screen) in which you put the beatdown on a single character by throwing boxes at him (and sometimes pushing him off the edge to oblivion).
