Don Pixel is a collection of little diversionary flash games, like Light Brigade, Zelda : The Collecting of Pills (a mashup of pacman and zelda), and Hapland, a sort of samorost clone. All in flash or shockwave. Something for everyone.
Oh! My God!
What is that?
A strange sound comes from backside door...

don't understand how the posts in the main page come out. Can the ripping off site be in the headline?

From their legal section:
WHERE DO GAMES COME FROM.
Obviously, games don't grow on trees; is the effort of many people working hard (for a living, to promote other contents, as a tribute to classics, as a way to learn, or as a result of too may spare time) what makes them possible.
LEGAL AND LEGITIMATE.
As mentioned above, we do not own the games, so we do not, in any way, intend to make profit out of them or the author's work. That's why we will try our best to distinctly mention their names and url's. Besides, we will serve the files from their original hosting, reserving the right to present them in a different way, according to usability and aesthetics criteria.
They are leeching the games from the original file servers and wrapping them with their own ads. Sleazy. But no worse than mininova, I guess.
Nice collection of games, though.

I don't remember anyone complaining when someone linked that full episode of South Park on YouTube a week or two ago. Why the double-standard?

If no ads on their site, that may be ok. Apparently they are trying to make money from others work.

Ah. I have adblock and my .hosts file covers the rest. I never saw any of the ads on this site. But if it bothers you, be sure not to click on the ads.
