10 best Flash games

In this world of Playstations, X-boxes and computers with high graphic cards it’s understandable why Flash games, which were the ‘in thing’ during the early 2000’s, have fallen out of fashion, but there are still some brilliant ones out there which are really worth playing.Not only are they great time killers (because the term ‘wasters’ is just too harsh), but also very convenient as all you need to run them are a capable browser, decent internet connection and of course Adobe Flash Player. Keeping that in mind, let’s have a look at the best Flash games currently gracing the internet.

#10 Kill the Popups

Remember the times when you hurriedly closed all those annoying ad pop ups that littered your screen while you browsed through websites? Well someone had the genius to turn that into a game.

On starting Kill The Popups your screen fills up with the most hilarious of popups and it’s your job to get rid of them as soon as possible. Even though it involves no shooting or blowing up things, it can get pretty entertaining.

#9 Gravity Pods

This exciting game involves you shooting a gun at a target which is protected by several gravity pods. Your task is to guide the bullet to its target, evading all the pods along the way. Gravity Pods can get ridiculously tricky as you progress through the levels, but all gamers should try and try until success smiles upon them.

#8 N

In this amazing game you play a stick Ninja who has to navigate through various obstacles in order to escape the maze hes trapped in. N, is extremely trickly which also makes it all the more engaging as the levels are excellent along with the character design. Loads of time can be whiled away by playing this amazing game. Id definitely suggest giving it a try.

#7 The Helicopter game

Ive spent hours upon hours enjoying this astounding game on my Blackberry and hope youll give it a try on your computer now that its available, thanks to Flash. All you have to do is use your computer key to navigate your helicopter through various obstacles, and withstand crashing for the longest time possible. Giving it a try wouldnt hurt, would it?

#6 Super Mario World

I don’t think any introduction is needed for this amazing game, which is also one of the highest selling, most loved games in the world.

Even if you no longer own a NES, you can still witness the magic of Mario on your computer with Super Marion World – a fan made flash game which is as exciting as the original. Games will come and games will go but Mario will continue to withstand the test of time.

#5 Stick Cricket

It is fitting to include this awesome game in the list due to the cricket fever sweeping the world right now. Stick Cricket is by no mean an easy game, which is why players really have to put in some dedication while playing. So if you’re stuck up with some work assignment, sneaking in a few minutes of Stick Cricket wouldn’t hurt.

And recently, they honored the late Australian batsman Phillip Hughes by making some changes to the way a bouncer is dealt with.

#4 Tennis

Everybody loves a good tennis game, which has been available on Flash for a long time. Tennis on flash is extremely similar to the NES version of tennis, which is one of the reasons why it is held in high regard by many old school games. All you have to do is use your keys and mouse to get the edge over your opponent.

#3 Tanki

Tank games are always fun, and Tanki certainly keeps the flag flying high. Not only do you play in an awesome tank but also get to blow things off the map. Another brilliant bonus about Tanki is its multiplayer feature which allows upto 8 players to engage in an epic tank battle with each other. What’s stopping you from trying it out?

#2 Battlestar Galactica Online

Okay, this is certainly one of the best Flash games available out there. Based on the famous TV series, Battlestar Galactica not only boasts of a great storyline but also brilliant graphics which make it hard to believe that BGO is a Flash game.

You get to travel the entire galaxy in your spaceship, shooting down hostiles along the way. There’s also a wide variety of spaceships with customization to choose from. I highly recommend you give this beauty a try.

#1 Tetris

Invented by Russian video game designer Alexey Pajitnov (whoever said the Soviets couldn’t be fun) in 1984, Tetris remains one of the most loved puzzle solving video games of all time.

And if even if you no longer own an IBM PC, an Apple II or a Gameboy Colour, this highly addictive game can still be played online due to the marvels of Flash. So the next time you’re cooped up in the office and given a boring task by your boss, playing a bit of Tetris wouldn’t hurt (provided your browser is on incognito mode).
