Funny Flash Games
The funny flash games are one of the best activities to do whenever you have some free time and you want to have some fun. They are played by anyone, from toddlers, to teenagers and even by grown-ups. Actually there are so many games that are played mostly by mature people, when they are at work and they need to take a short break. So you don’t have to be a child to play a free and funny online game. Actually some of the games are not even recommended for the kids, because they feature a lot of violence or sexual content. But anyway, most of these games are suited for anyone, no matter the age. Like we mentioned before they are absolutely free. All you have to do is browse the internet, search for a site that offers free games and just play them. Some of the games are downloadable, but most of them can be played directly on the site, without having to download or install anything. These games are using the flash technology so this means they are easy to play, with simple graphics and controls. The topics of these games are very diversified so that any person can be satisfied.

There are so many sites on the internet offering these types of games, and one of the best is miniclip.com

It is a complex site, with a lot of games and it even has versions in many languages (such as English, French, Spanish, german, Italian, Chinese, Japanese and others). So this is a proof that the games from this site are played by people from all over the world. You can choose a game to play from the alphabetic list with all of the games, or you can choose one by the categories. Some of the game categories are: action, brain training, Christmas, dancing, girls, kids, multiplayer, political, racing, puzzle, shooters, sports and many more.

There are so many games that sound really interesting, and we don’t know which one to choose, so we’ll just close our eyes and pick some random games. First we’ll play them and then discuss more about each one. Let’s begin with the Minilympics game. As you might figured it out, it is a sports game, one with Olympic challenges. First you can choose your player and you can pick a man or a woman, each with the specific equipment. Just like in the Olympic games, you will have a few different sports to choose from. The events from these game are: 100 m sprint, 110 m hurdles, long jump, high jump, archery, pole vault, discus, javelin and weightlifting. Now let’s play each of the events and see which one is the coolest.
We’ll begin with the first challenge, the 100 m sprint. After the game begins, wait for the starter’s gun. After that press the B and N keys in turn as fast as you can, to make your player run. It will seem difficult at the beginning, but after you find the exact rhythm to press the B and N keys, the player will run really fast, with the power bar at its maximum. Just run like this until the finish line and try to be the first one.

Now let’s move on to the next event, the 110 m hurdles. It is pretty much the same as the first one, the only difference is that here you will also have to jump over hurdles. So just press the B and N keys alternatively to make the player run and the space key to make him jump over hurdles. Be careful not to start before the gun shot, because you will be disqualified. This event is even more difficult than the previous because after making a jump the player will lose some of the speed, so you will really have to press faster on the B and N keys :).

The next challenge is the long jump. As you may already know, here you will have to run as fast as you can and then jump on the sand, as far as possible. The controls are the same: the B and N keys to run and the space key to jump. There are no opponents here, so you just have to beat up your own length. The next event is the high jump, and this is pretty similar to the long jump. The difference is that you will have to jump as high as possible, and over the pole. The controls are also the same, but first of all you will have to set the height of the pole using the arrow keys. Begin with a smaller height and as you get better raise the pole higher and higher. You can go as far as 3 meters, but this is quite impossible to achieve. Good luck anyway!

The next one is the archery event. Here you will just have to aim the target using the arrow keys. But actually it is not that simple. You will have to set the target quickly otherwise it will begin to rotate faster and faster on the screen. And also the arrow will not go exactly where you set the target. So you will have to aim higher to make the arrow touch the target. The pole vault challenge is also quite fun. First set the height of the pole using the arrow keys, but try not to go so high, especially if you are a beginner in this game. After that use the same B and N keys to run and the space to jump. But be careful to jump at the right time, and not go over the jumping point because you will fail.
The next one, the discus is quite nice. Use the B and N to gain power and rotate faster, while in the same time be careful at the angle bar. When the power is high, and the angle is good, press the space bar to throw the disc. It’s pretty much the same at the javelin challenge too. Run as fast as possible using the B + N, and when you get to the right spot, before the white line, press the space bar. Then you will see the angle bar so be careful to choose the perfect angle. Then press the space bar again to throw the javelin, and hope that it will go as far as possible.

And finally the last challenge, the weightlifting. First use the arrow keys to choose the weight you want to lift. You can pick a weight from 5 kg up to 50 kg. Here just press the B and N keys to gain power. But be careful to maintain a constant and growing power, otherwise the player will drop the weight. Good luck!
This was just one of the many flash games from this site, and if this was so much fun to play, imagine how all the other hundreds of games will be. Some of them are more complex than the Minilympics game, others are simpler but all of them should be funny. So whenever you have some free time, just enter the site and play as many games as you can. And if you find some others that are cool, let us know too! Have fun!
