The website of the London Underground offers a gaming area, call 'the Zone', with "several exciting new fully interactive games for visitors aged eight to 80." The games include: Tube designer, which allows you to paint a Tube train and then see it pull into a station; Catch the Tube, which allows you to race a train against the computer or a friend -- you can even design your own tracks; and Mad Map -- help crush a rebellion on the world-famous Tube map by catching runaway stations. Editor's note: the games require the installation of Macromedia's Shockwave Player.
