If you've been following the mini-phenomenon that is the Flash version of Line Rider over the past couple years, you've probably heard it called everything from a game, to a toy, to an addiction, or even an interactive screensaver. Since it hit the Internet in 2006, it's been ripped off, cloned, and YouTube'd more times than Jimmy Kimmel doing naughty things to Ben Affleck, all thanks to a simple design that asks players to draw a series of lines, and then drops a physics-enabled sled onto them.
Here is a list of ten browser games that will surely keep you glued to your computer.

Wow, I'd forgotten about this game. Good stuff.
Hopefully they release a new console/handheld game for the WiiU, 3DS, and Vita some day.
Every time I played this game I found myself trying to do a loop, it never worked and i would give up haha
I agree for such a game with a simple premise it is easy to learn how to play but difficult to master.
Awesome, nuff said. LOL. I remember findthing this game and having a blast. Then going online and seeing some of the amazing things people have created that put mine to shame.
I recall seeing a coca cola commercial or Mcdonalds out of it? I wonder if it was real.
Due to the DS' small screen it's hard to get a complete view of the puzzle you're working on, but the zoom function does its job well enough. If you make a mistake you can erase what you've done completely or just a certain line type, and you can completely move a line if you want. The interface takes a little getting used to and it's not nearly as simple to use as it was on the PC, but it does the job.
This game is actually really addictive. Perfect way to kill time as far as I'm concerned.
