Due to the extreme popularity of free online games people of all age groups have become addicted to them because they offer variety, which can't be matched by expensive gaming consoles, this addiction goes well beyond teenage as we see young adults addicted to video games. The wide variety of free online flash and shockwave games available on net may be broadly classified into action and adventure games, card games, board games, strategy, funny, educational, simulation, etc. All types of online flash games and shockwave games have their own part of customers or niche, but the most popular and most played are the board games, which are basically online interpretations of certain conventional board games that include Chess, Monopoly, Dominoes and Literati as well as card games: poker, etc.
Free online games are thought out to be plain and simple games which an be finished in less than a few minutes before moving on to the next one; this is actually not true as we can see featured games which can take hours and even days to complete due to their level of difficulty, a good example is the "Prince of Persia" online game.
Prince of Persia has graphics which are similar to Super Mario for super Nintendo consoles which is very good considering how fast it loads. Just like Super Mario there are several traps along the path of the prince and he must explore an entire underground world before he accomplishes all of his tasks. The prince starts without a single weapon so the most important factor for players is to learn how to maneuver on this world because there are hidden spikes, guillotines, assassins, fake floors and metal doors which prevent you from reaching the end of the game.
Most games which are similar to Prince of Persia start at one point and it's pretty obvious the path we should take if we want to get to the end of it but with Prince of Persia you start at point A facing to the left side of the screen but you can actually go backwards and start playing to the right which leads the main character to secret passages where he must successfully overcome many deadly obstacles, since there are so many levels this game is guaranteed to keep you busy for at least 4 hours, and that's assuming you are really good at this kind of games. A good tip is to learn how to control the price before venturing across this underground maze otherwise you might end up frustrated, so learn how to play it and enjoy your spare time.

There currently are few real web sites which have been built with the purpose of offering a wide selection of online games in several formats for PC gamers, some of those formats are flash and java. The beauty of free online games is that any gamer can have instant access to giant databases of interactive games which can be played during their leisure time. The categories vary from site to site, we can see that some of these games are educational or brainteasers, others are for pure fun and obviously these games are definitely strong enough to addict the players who often find themselves hooked up for hours. Other free online game categories are adventure games and role-playing games.
Role Playing Games are multiplayer applications that appeals the appetite of many online players because it allows the gamer to impersonate a desired character while visitors can also pick an online partner to this game enhancing the very social nature of gaming thus making the gaming environment more hot and interesting; this is a sure hit among teens and young adults. New gamers will be delighted to know that some of these sites even have a rating system which can be quite useful if you don't want to waste precious gaming hours trying to find something fun and interesting; another great feature is the ability to post comments about the game, so the feedback loop is quite robust.
For those who like shooting at stuff, one of the currently featured games (flash version) is called "Final Fortress", in this game you are given a missile launcher which should be used to destroy incoming tanks and small enemies. The game gives you the option of buying additional equipment such as: A Grenade Launcher ($350), Bio Canon ($400), Heavy Mines ($40 each), energy plant ($250) and additional normal mines for $20 each. Using all of these goodies you can improve you accuracy and increase your scores. Besides being a flash game, which are normally thought of as single level games, Final Fortress is actually a multi-level game so if you think the first round was easy then wait to see what it's in store for you.
Not only war and shooting games cover the full range and categories, there are others aimed to improve your memory skills. For some people this results rather hard because the sequences are shown fast but this is exactly the purpose of the game, the more you remember the better your score becomes and you get the added benefit of improving your short term memory skills.
