Can’t find any decent online games?
Here are some great free online games I like to play in my spare time!
1. Stick Sports
Stick sports is an excellent site for sports games. There’s a good variety of games on offer – from tennis to baseball – and generally they are very high-quality given they are free games. Good game design and some simple, but impressive, physics make Stick Sports games a great way to kill some time.
2. Adrenaline Challenge

Adrenaline challenge is one of the most popular flash games on the internet. The premise is simple – you ride a bike in a 2D world, and hurting your character in any way will stop the game. The controls are easy to get used to, but take a while to master. Overall, Adrenaline Challenge is a great mixture of biking and platforming.
3. enDice

If you want to play a good puzzle game, look no further than enDice. It’s clever, slick, and will have you puzzling for hours. Like many puzzle games, the design is straightforward, but as you progress, the levels get rather complex. The game works by rolling dice into designated spaces, but you can only move each die a certain number of times. See if you can get to the end!
4. Ultimate Flash Sonic

One of the most impressive free online games I’ve ever seen! Ultimate Flash Sonic is a flash game remake of a classic video game, Sonic the Hedgehog. If you like platforming games, this amazing remake will keep you entertained for a while. If you’re a sonic fan, you’ll appreciate how faithful Ultimate Flash Sonic is to the old Sonic games!
5. Bubble Pop
This game is based off an old Playstation series called Bust-a-Move. Use the arrow to fire bubbles onto the bubbles at the top of the screen. When you hit a three or more joined bubbles of the same colour with a bubble of the same colour, the bubbles pop and clear some of the screen. The aim is to clear the screen of all the bubbles.
6. Tetris
Tetris is really easy to find – just type ‘Tetris’ into Google and click on one of the results. Tetris may not be the trendiest of games, but it’s very addictive, and one of the most famous puzzle games of all time!
7. Exmortis

If you like horror games, Exmortis is definitely worth checking out. It’s a point-and-click adventure game, where you navigate a haunted house. The game is actually quite scary and gruesome at times. Best played in the dark on your own, to get the best atmosphere possible!
8. Zelda: The Seeds of Darkness

If you’re a Legend of Zelda fan, here’s a great little Zelda-themed flash game. Explore forests and dungeons as you carefully drag a giant bomb around with you. Be careful not to let the bomb collide with anything, or it’ll blow up and cause game over!
9. Multitask

Multitask is one of those games you just have to keep coming back to! The aim is to ‘survive’ in the game as much as possible. Over time, you are given a series of simple objectives to accomplish at the same time as each other. For example, one task is to keep a ball balanced on a movable object. Another task is to move an object to avoid projectiles. It sounds easy, but doing all these tasks at the same time as they build up gets tricky!
10. Minecraft
Although the main version Minecraft is a paid game, there is a free ‘Classic’ version of the game you can play! To access it, create an account on the Minecraft website. Now click on either the single or multiplayer link below the “Play Minecraft Classic (Outdated, but free)” text. Preferably, you want to choose multiplayer and click on a server to go on. Although ‘Classic’ Minecraft is limited in functionality, you can still build to your heart’s content!
