Just for Fun - NetDisaster

One of my old favorite fun sites is www.NetDisaster.com. I thought about it the other day and searched my bookmarks. Happily, I found it again.

NetDisaster.com requires the Macromedia Flash plug-in for your web browser. It takes a snapshot of the web site you specify. Then, it gives you a custom Macromedia Flash interactive show within the web page NetDisaster creates.

Simply, you select the web page of your choice and the type of disaster.

You might pick Nuke, which drops nuclear bombs on the web page. Some disaster types have various options, such as auto-repair (or massive damage) and manual control or automatic. “Nuke” gives you both - with manual control, you get a cross-hair target sight that you can move across the page. Click where you want to attack.

Coffee Spill is another fun disaster, as are the meteor strike and the dinosaurs.

Have fun with www.NetDisaster.com.
