Got a Neopet? Login and play the multiplayer board game battle Keyquest! We've created 5 mini-games for Neopets'
Mario Party-style board game. Be the first to grab fruit off a tree, hose down a dirty PetPet, kick butt on the hopscotch playground, get your thumb green growing a garden, and win an old-fashioned Carnival darts game!


Login here to play, or create a Neopet to join the fun!

MTV adds Facebook and Twitter based show

Now a game based on this would be very sweet. I like the idea of an asyncronous game that leverages your friend's twitter and facebook updates regardless of whether or not they are playing the game with you.

SMERC.com re-org

We decided that sections like "Games" and "Games cont." weren't super helpful. So now the SMERC.com website contains subsection based ont the types of games we've produced: Recent, Action, Puzzle, Educational, and the venerable Archive. We've even got a link back to the blog... which is probably how you got here.

What is a Game?

G1 Android Application Developer

So if you google "g1 android application developer" no companies come up that actually do this. Seems crazy to me that that's the case. So I'd just like to put it out there. SMERC is a G1 Android Application Developer...... how's that SEO marketing for ya?

Choose Your Own Adventure!


We just released a new game for the Naked Bros. Band show, and it's Nickelodeon's Game of the Week!

Play matchmaker, make sure the band gets to practice on time, and most importantly, make sure their big movie premiere is a success!
