Remember that labyrinth tabletop game back in the 70s? You maneuvered a steel ball through a wooden labyrinth by tilting the surface. Now you can recreate the experience on your PC with this fun little game.

Ball in a Labyrinth is quick to download and easy to play--well, the first couple of levels, at least. Using a mouse or touchpad to tilt the virtual playing surface takes a while to get used to, and the holes you need to avoid are rather large. It's a nice challenge.

If you enjoy a casual game every now and then, and don't want to fire up your Web browser and go to a Flash games site, give this free download a try. It would come in handy on a plane ride, or in other situations where you don't have access to the Web and want to kill some time.
