Useful and useless flash games: how best to kill time

The era when computer toys fell into our hands exclusively on compact discs and required a special, trembling attitude - a long installation, adjustments, passing the game level by level ... The modern youth basically switched to flash games in social networks and on specialized sites: Work quickly, distract from work and heavy thoughts, in case of appearance on the horizon, the chief or parents quickly turn off or fold into the tray. What else is needed in order to kill free time bored teenager?

The popularity of unpretentious games and the demand for this type of entertainment for a long time "sniffed" application developers who want to earn money on the players. And in social networks began to appear a variety of "farms", "Pokemon", "Fur-trees", which are addictive, give birth to the player's competitive spirit and stimulate the purchase of useless jewelry for their playing space. Where did all the normal flash games go? To play for free online now is almost nowhere. Nevertheless, there are sites where you can find free children's toys, indie games and experimental projects, for which no one asks for payment.

For convenience, on such sites, the games are grouped into male and female, that is, boys and girls. This can be seen primarily in color: pink against blue or blue, as it should. Boys are mainly encouraged to fight and drive on cars, and girls should be provided with life simulators reminiscent of The Sims, a variety of puzzles and games about fashion, dressing and makeup. All this is quite interesting, and sometimes even provokes creative ideas, but such games are usually very short. Sometimes they also carry a hidden advertisement (you need to pay for the beer for the developers somehow) or even get pissed off with viruses ...

Another category of free flash games are experimental, or indie games, which are developed by amateurs and are most often endowed with unusual gameplay, a plot or some kind of psychedelic graphics. Many indie games are based on physics or properties of materials, which makes them not only a pleasant way to spend a couple of hours, but also unobtrusive teaching material. Therefore, if you really advise you to play online for someone underage, then certainly not in MMORPG or flash games with races and fights. Most indie projects are actually very well done, despite the didactic spirit (if you do not know the word "didactic", you will not notice it there, you can not worry). So to play in your spare time it is desirable all the same to something useful ... or someone does not want to grow into a successful adult in the future?
