Can't miss 'Canabalt'

I gave up Flash games about the same time I gave up Long Island iced teas and eating $1 frozen dinners for lunch.

But just like those $2 drink specials in Winona, sometimes an offer comes along that you can't refuse. Such is the case with "Canabalt," the new Flash game that plays like an 8-bit platformer on speed. The hero in this simple run-and-jump game makes Sonic the Hedgehog look like a slowpoke.

You can play "Canabalt" online for free in either normal or mega renditions. The controls are simple enough: Press X or C to jump and the game takes care of the rest. The only question is how far can you make it before you fall?
