Tetrageddon is a collection of games, strange rabbit holes, tangents, and a comedic digital nightmare about the internet of old. It is a bizarre relic from the era of online Flash games, and pretty much delivers on as random of an experience as you would expect. Each game is wildly different in terms of genre and gameplay. They all have their own silly tangents and Easter eggs to explore. You can spend hours getting lost. Explore haunted desktops and abandoned spaces as you delve deeper into a pixelated fever dream. On your journey you will encounter silly characters and other oddities while you brave what feels like someone’s long forgotten games folder on a computer found during a garage sale. Tetrageddon is a satire about our digital culture in the form of a strange collection of mini games. If you like random humor, warioware, miss the days of Flash game portals and the weird trappings of 90's nostalgia... then Tetrageddon is for you! There are a total of ten mini-games that you can uncover. These range from Anatomically Incorrect Dinosaurs, a dinosaur assembly simulator... to Froggy (It's Hungry!), a post-apocalyptic game about a frog surviving on an international mega-highway at the end of the world. Tetrageddon is the type of game that's hard to describe and best experienced for yourself.

Press reviews: “It might look like your computer - same crumbs , cat hair wedged between keyboard keys - but no, it has become a Tetrageddon arcade. Launching its own desktop environmet, Tetrageddon fills your eyes and ears and nose and glands you didn't even realise you had with noise and colour and surprise and delight and laffs. I still haven't found a fraction of the secrets hidden in its glitched-out desktop, I don't think. Also, video games. And frogs. Frogs in video games. And frogs with strong opinions on video games.” Rock Paper Shotgun “The Tetrageddon portal is a little bit net art, a little bit invitation to open-source collaboration, and a lot strictly delightful, nostalgic play experiences.” Boing Boing “Design-wise, Nathalie Lawhead, the founder and creative force behind Tetrageddon Games, looks back on the 1980s with admiration and nostalgia. “There was always a computer in the house when I was growing up, and I spent most of my time behind it,” she says. “I played games from a floppy disk, printed art from a dot-matrix printer and made strange block-like animations using the keyboard on that strange block-like CRT monitor.” Print Magazine
