Funny Online Games

The Internet is a huge network that is spread all over the world. First it was used for military and political purposes, but in time it began to expand more and more among the home users. Today any person who has a computer can connect to the Internet. Sometimes you have to pay to have access but you can also connect for free, if you have a laptop with a wireless connection, and you find the right spot where you have signal. There are so many things to do online: you can do your work, you can search for all sort of information in any domain, you can chat with friends or meet new people from all over the world, you can buy or sell different things, download music or movies, but you can also play a lot of games. Usually the free online games are made using the flash technology so this means they will have a simple graphic and they will be easy to play and understand. They are online games, so you will be able to play them directly on the site, without having to download or install anything. As we said they are also free, so all you need is a computer and a connection to the internet.

There are many sites offering these kinds of games, and some of the most famous are: miniclip.com, freeonlinegames.com or funny-games.biz. In this article we are going to take some random funny online games from these sites, and discuss more about them.

Let’s begin with one or 2 games from the freeonlinegames.com site. It is a complex site, available in many languages and which contains many game categories. Some of these are 3d games, fighting games, sport games, racing, strategy, war games, games for girls, mind games and many more. Let’s choose a driving game, for example the one called “Hey taxi”. Here you will have to take passengers to their destination in the fastest time possible. The action takes place in India, so be careful because you have to drive on the left side of the road, and not on the right like most of the people are used to. (people that are living outside India, Japan or Great Britain). Even though the taxi is pretty difficult to control, the graphic of the game looks really good. Drive around the city streets and search for passengers. Just stop near a passenger and he will get in the taxi. Then follow the blue arrow to take the passenger to his destination. When you reach it just stop the car, and the person will get out automatically. After that move on to the next passenger. You will have a goal, a predetermined number of passengers to take, to complete the level. After accomplishing your goal and if you have some time left, you can take more passengers for a higher score. Or you can just drive around for fun. While driving also collect the yellow stars and hit into the wood boxes to reveal different items. Good luck!

Another racing game from freeonlinegames.com is the “day drive”. It is a nice game, with quit a good graphic, and your goal is simple: be the first to cross the finish line. The car is controlled only using the arrow keys, and the driving sensation is quite good and realistic. The car will be difficult to control in corners at high speed, so you might want to use the brake from time to time :). The car will not get damaged if you hit into walls, but it will slow down making you lose time, so try to not hit any obstacle. On the road you will also find diamonds or other useful items so be sure to collect them all.

Now let’s move on to another site with free online games, which is miniclip.com. This site is also famous all over the world, so it has versions in many languages, and it also has hundreds of games divided into categories. A cool sports game from the site is the Minylimpics game. It is a game that contains a few different events, so you can have a lot of fun playing it. Just like in a real Olympic game, you will find events like: 100 m sprint, 110 m hurdles, long jump, high jump, archery, pole vault, javelin throw and weightlifting. Even though these sports are quite different from another, the controls are pretty much the same in all of the games. Usually you will gain power (or speed) by pressing the B and N keys alternatively. In some events there are other controls too, but you will learn them before you start the game. In some events you will compete against opponents, and in others you will compete against yourself, trying to get the highest score possible. So if you are a fan of the Olympic games, you should definitely try this game! Have fun!

We played some racing games from freeonlinegames.com, so now let’s play a racing game from miniclip.com too. Let’s choose for example the “Formula racing”. As you might already realized this is a game with Formula 1 cars. The graphic of this game looks quite good, and there are also many cars to choose from and many tracks. The tracks are actually made exactly like the tracks from reality. The car is controlled with the arrow keys, and the space bar is used to change view. On the screen you will see your time, position (both in the race and on the track), your damage level and even your speed. When you hit any obstacle the car will get damaged so try to avoid this. Finish first to win the race, and also collect items along the way to get points or to repair your car.

And finally the last site that we said we are going to present today: funny-games.biz. It is also a famous site, and beside games it also has funny videos, jokes or pictures. Since we mostly presented just racing games, now let’s pick a different kind of game. We’ll choose the one called “Dice mogul”. This game is inspired by the famous Monopoly game. Your goal here is to buy as many proprieties as you can and then upgrade them to make money from the other opponents, and try to take all of their money. If it happens to be close to bankruptcy, you can always sell the proprieties you have so that you can have more money. Unlike a real monopoly game, you won’t have to throw the dices yourself. Just click on them, and they will be throwed and your colored piece will be moved automatically according to the number shown by the dices. When all the other players are bankrupt you will win the game, or lose it when you are bankrupt.

These were just some of the games from these 3 sites, and of course there are many more. Actually there are thousands of existing games on each site, and there are many games added every day, so practically you will always have something to play. Have fun!
