In the beginning, we had analog clocks and we liked them. Learning what the big hand and little hand represents was a huge accomplishment when we were 6. Later came digital clocks, which took a lot of the fun away from learning to tell time. For a time, I was using a binary clock. It was a lot of fun, but I dropped it and broke it. Now, the clock I want is an Albert Clock. Forget about doing binary math, this clock makes you solve all sorts of problems! The Albert Clock has different levels of difficulty, plus an Android and iOS version. Think Geek has it for $149.99 right now. I could not find a computer or web version of the clock, if you know of one, let me know!

It is software that takes your Roomba’s map of your house and creates a level of Doom for you to play. The final classic game I’m going to discuss today is Lemmings, which is now available on mobile devices. It’s available, but you’ll probably not want to play.
