Are you a gamer? Do you like free things? Of course you do!

We here at the Tech Deck are just like you: poor gamers looking for cheap entertainment. And nothing's cheaper than cost-free gaming. Each week, we'll bring you a title (or two or three) you can legally play at home without plopping down a single dollar. If you see games you think we should be featuring on the blog, email us at dang@spokesman.com or kiph@spokesman.com.

Setting dominoes to fall is usually an activity limited only by your stomach for tedious activities and the shakiness of your hands. But in Bally Midway's 1983 game "Domino Man," you have to contend with bees, bullies and a ticking clock (really), to say nothing of the impatience of those waiting in line to grab the joystick at your local arcade. You can relive the joys of the hobby digitally, thanks to the folks at the Internet Archive, by clicking below!

Dominos aren't only your medium in this game, they're also your defense against increasingly agitated enemies. Press the left CTRL key to swing dominos at enemies, or simply avoid them as you cover the countryside in comically large game pieces. The soundtrack, a lovingly crafted MIDI version of Scott Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag," will keep your toes tapping as you delicately place those dominos.

The titular hero is almost a carbon copy of the protagonist in other Midway games "Tapper" and "Timber." All three games released between 1983 and 1984. Players could rack up scores by picking up and placing dominos in the exact same place, as long as the enemies stay away. 

Do you think domino art should come back? Still dancing to the Maple Leaf Rag? Let us know in the comments below, and check back next week for another free game.
