When our team was looking around for interesting new ways to tie the online experience of the Levi's® brand to its television ad campaign, someone came up with Shockwave games. I put together some artwork to use in a mockup of the idea, and we ended up using it in the final games.

I'd present the actual games here, but unfortunately the Shockwave plugin can only play files from the last few releases, not this far back.

I had talked to the programmers about how the games would work, and intentionally made things very simple so the programming tasks wouldn't get crazy. "Hit the arrow, the taxi changes lanes. Click a balloon and a dart hits it." They blew us all away in the end, coming up with a skidding taxi you could control the acceleration of, and a spear gun that shot spears using gravity and velocity effects at the balloons. We saw people in the main office playing these games on break long after the ad promotion was over.
