Flash games

When boredom begins to dominate and you find yourself in front of a PC screen, to pass the time faster there is nothing better than a good game of video games. Better still if you play Flash , which can be played directly from the browser without downloading additional programs to your computer.

That’s why today I want to offer you a list with the best free Flash games sites that, I hope, will help you make the moments of the day spent – more or less forced – sitting in front of your PC a little less boring.

If you are desperate for Flash games to kill time, one of the first sites I recommend you to visit is Y8 which without any registration allows you to play thousands of online titles. It is totally free and works on all operating systems, as long as Adobe’s Flash Player is installed on your computer .

Being also available in Italian, Y8 is easily usable by anyone. By connecting to its main page, you will find at the top a menu to access the list of the most popular or newest games , on the left a list with all the genres of videogames available on the site, while in the center there are previews of the most popular games of the moment.

To start a game, click on its preview image and wait a few moments for it to load (and a short advertisement will be shown to you). Some of the more advanced titles with 3D graphics require the installation of an additional plugin called Unity Web Player , but don’t worry because it’s available for free for both Windows and Mac.

Another hugely popular Flash game site full of all kinds of titles is Kongregate . Connect to its home page and you will immediately find yourself in the presence of various game lists: Hot new games with the most interesting new titles, Highest rated games with the games most voted by users, Most played games with the most played video games, Staff picks with the titles recommended by the site staff and so on.

It is then possible to “browse” the games according to their genre by placing the mouse cursor on the Games button (located at the top) and clicking on the More categories item in the menu that appears. Video games work on all major browsers and operating systems, all you need is Flash Player and Unity Web Player on your PC .

To play, just click on the preview image of a video game and wait for a short advertisement to be played. Registration (free) to the site is not mandatory but it is necessary if you want to take advantage of the achievements system, keep game statistics and take part in multiplayer titles by challenging other players in the flesh. To register, click on the Sign in button at the top and authenticate with your Facebook account.

I suggest you also bookmark Games.com , a very popular international Flash games site that offers users any type of video game: adventure titles, puzzle games, sports games, card games and so on and so forth. . All free. To play, just use any of the most popular web browsers currently on the market.

The Games.com main page is structured in a way that couldn’t be simpler. At the top are the search bar to find your favorite games and some of the main video game categories available on the site ( puzzles , sports , etc.). Below you will find the list of the most recently played games, while in the center of the page there is the “plank” with the titles recommended by the site staff ( Suggested ), the most popular games ( Most popular ) and the most recent ones ( Recently added ).

Many titles require free membership to the site in order to function. Then click on the Sign in button located at the top right and select the item Register for a free account from the window that opens to access the registration form. Alternatively, you can log into Games.com using your Facebook, Google, Yahoo! or Twitter (just click on the appropriate icons).

It will take you months to try all the games on the sites that I have just reported to you, in any case do not forget to make a “visit” also on Armor Games which offers a wide selection of original action / strategic titles (but not only) from play directly from the browser.

Then there is the “very classic” Miniclip that you have surely heard of and that is definitely worth keeping in your favorites. It is one of the most popular Flash video game sites in the world. And even if its catalog is not provided like that of other sites seen previously, it remains very enjoyable.
