Yesterday I saw this one video about the creation of the LEGO company, me as a child used to play a lot with LEGOs :), and then remembered about this two games that used to be in the webpage of LEGO, I though they were so incredible at my age and now I realized that I haven't seen some of these genius game mechanics in any other videogame, maybe it's just me and nostalgia but anyway.
people I present you two of the most greatly designed video games or better said online videogames.

Spybotics: The Nightfall Incident.
This is my favorite, most of it it has nothing to do with LEGO but who cares. Strategic game by turns but it has this mechanic that believe it or not changes a lot of the gameplay: every time you move a square you leave another one where you where, making the character some kind of snake, every square your character leaves is a live for it or in other words a hit point like the health bar so the more you have the more hits you can resist, of course every char has his limitations... or not. These chars are basically programs you use to get pass through the firewalls of computer systems (yea I don't remember a lot about the plot) since you are a hacker and that's what you do as one, you can buy these programs with credits you find in every level all of them are different with different characteristics, ones move more squares by turn but leave no trail of squares so they only have one hit point, others have long range, others are slow fuckers with huge hit points and damage points, other gives you automatically more hit points aka medic, etc.
The first levels are easy as cake, hehe cake, but then later on it becomes way more hardcore like a hardcover cake, I think, that makes you wonder if this is actually a game for small child.
its a great game and I remember it being this way I hope you enjoy it as much as I did if you decide to give it a try.

it runs with shockwave so don't be scared if it ask you to download the plug in and don't let the low quality intro music fools you ;)
