One of the most famous sites that offers free online games is miniclip.com. It is a complex site, with many cool games, and because it is famous all over the world it has some versions in different languages. You can play it in English, French, Spanish, german, Italian, Romanian, portugese, Chinese, and others. The games are divided into categories, but you can also choose a game from the alphabetic list with all the games. Some of the game categories are: action games, dancing games, education games, girls games, kids games, learning games, multiplayer games, political games, racing games, puzzle games, sports games and many more. But today we are going to discuss about some of the free 3D online games from this site.

In the 3D games category you will find different type of games, such as driving, sports or fighting games…the thing that makes them 3D games is their graphic. Let’s take some random games from the 3D category and we’ll begin with the one called “On the run”. In this game your enemies are determined to run you off the roud. And your goal is to not let them destroy your car, and get to the meeting point before they do that. There will be fuel and repair bonusses on the road, so try to collect them. A good tip is to not collect all the bonuses first time around, because you have to cover a lot of the route again after going through the second tunnel. So you will need some repair bonuses later on. In this game you have to use the UP arrow key to accelerate, the DOWN arrow key to reverse, the space bar to break, and the other arrow keys to steer left and right. The graphic of the game is quite simple but if you don’t have anything else to do, and you like driving games, you can try this one. Good luck!

Another racing 3D game from the site is the “Crazy karts”. Here you will use some crazy and funny looking karts to race against others, and your goal is to get to the finish line first. You can play a quick race or start a new career.  There are 4 characters to choose from and these are: the cowgirl (a funny girl with a big cow mask on her head), the miniclip guy (a boy with a big M on his head), the octopus (as you might figured out, is a boy with an octopus on his head) and the strawberry (a girl with a strawberry on her head). And all of these guys have a kart, that is matching their name. So choose which one you like the most, or try them all, one at a time. First you will be able to play only on the Sunshine island, but when advancing in the game you will also unlock other islands, such as: Pinnacle island, Volcano island or Lagoon island. The kart is controlled with the arrow keys and the X key is used to activate  bonus items and the C to see the rear view. When entering the game we had an unpleasant surprise. The game was not working at all and was making our internet browser behave very bad. Since we are using an advanced computer, and all the other games from miniclip worked just fine, we consider that the problem is with this specific game. So if you encountered the same problem, or in the contrary – you didn’t had any trouble with this game, just let us know.


Another fun game that is included in the 3D game category is the Creepy pong. We already presented this one in a previous article (Halloween games), but since we really liked it we’ll present it again. As the name says, it is a ping pong game, but a more special one. It’s also a Halloween game, so all the characters are creepy monsters and the environment is specially made for this holiday. There are three paddles for you to choose, a simple Miniclip bat, one with wings on it representing heaven and one with fire representing hell. There are different opponents that you can play against, and they are randomly chosen. Sometimes the first opponent may be Dracula, other times Frankenstein, a zombie or other monsters. The table where you play ping pong is placed in a grave yard, and it is surrounded by glowing pumpkin heads, and other Halloween decorations. The sky is darkened and from time to time there will be lightings on the sky. The paddle is controlled with the mouse, and as you might already know, all you have to do is hit the ball and make sure it goes into the opponent’s half of the table. If he loses the ball you will get a point, and if you lose the ball he will get a point. The first to reach 11 points is the winner. Each opponent brings a different feature to the ping pong table. For example when you play against Dracula the table will look like a coffin, or when you play against the werewolf the table is green. During the game there will be all sort of creepy sounds, such as a witch laughter or the sound made by an owl. I personally like ping pong, and this is by far the most fun free online ping pong game that I’ve found. So enjoy it!



The last 3D game from miniclip.com that we are going to present today is the Kickboxing game. These were just a few of the free 3D games from this site and there are many more others. So whenever you have some free time try some of them, and share all your opinions with us. Now let’s get back to the Kickboxing game. As you might already noticed it is a fighting game. You have to pick your fighter and make your way to the top. The first players that are available are the patriot, warrior, dragon or gypsy. The controls of the game are: the arrow keys for movement, the X key for punch, the C for kick and the space bar for special movements. Each player has its own special move, and you can use this when the orange small bar is filled up. The green bar represents your health, and as you get injured it will become more and more red. The games look really nice, and the fighting moves are cool to. So have fun playing it!

The topics of the free online flash games are really diversified. You can find almost any kind of game you want, no matter what are your preferences. You can find adventure games, shooting games, fighting, RPG, puzzle games, word games and so many more. If you like sports then there are so many sport games for you to play. Probably there is at least one free online game for any existing sport. Some examples of sport games that you can play on the internet are: soccer, basketball, volleyball, ski, surf, golf. Tennis, football,  Olympic games, karate and also hockey games.

The National Hockey League (or simply NHL) is an association that operates the major professional league of hockey from the United States. In this competition compete 30 clubs, 24 of them are from United States and 6 from Canada. It is by far the most popular hockey league in the world, and it is the dream of any hockey player to play some day for a team in NHL.

Any gamer knows that EA Sports brings the most famous computer games in the sport category. Some of its famous games are FIFA (a soccer game), the NBA Live series (basketball), Madden NFL (American football), Grand Slam Tennis (tennis), Tiger Woods PGA tour (golf) and also the NHL series (hockey).   All of these games have a different version almost every year, and their names change according to the year. For example FIFA 09 (2009), NFL 10 (2010), NBA 02 (2002) and so on. Although these games are really cool and complex, you will also have to buy them. Considering that there are many of them, and there is a new one every year, you might say that they are pretty expensive. Like we mentioned in previous articles, the alternative for the expensive games are the free online games.

Unfortunately we didn’t found any NHL free online game. So if you know a site that offers a game of this type, please let us know. But if you are a big hockey fan, it is not necessary to play just a NHL game. The good part is that you will find many free hockey game on the internet, and today we are going to discuss some of them.

Let’s begin with the Polar Hockey game from miniclip.com. It is a quite nice hockey game, where the players are polar bears. The objective of the game is simple: try to score as many goals as you can and defeat your opponent team. The controls are not so complicated: you have to use the arrow keys to move the player in all the directions, the Z key to pass or swap player and the X key to shoot. During the game you will hear some nice music, and the bears will roar really loud when a team scores a goal. So enjoy it!

Another hockey game from Miniclip is the “Electro air hockey”. Here you have to hit the puck into your opponent’s goal to score points. The first person to reach 7 points is the winner. When beginning a new tournament you can first choose your character. There are both boys and girls, each one with a different look, age, and origin. You will control the mullet using the mouse and you have to hit the puck to make it go into the opponent’s goal. You can move the mullet only into your half of the terrain. The puck will gain speed fast, and it will suddenly change directions, so be very careful and think fast. Sometimes if you lose the puck it can even go into your own goal, scoring a point for your opponent. After you defeat a player you will move on to the next one. And you will also gain a password, that you can use to play directly from where you last advanced, instead of taking all the game from the beginning. When advancing to a new opponent the color of the table will also change. Just like the real version of the game, the online version is also really fun to play.



There are just 3 hockey games on the miniclip site, and the last one is called “Hockey showdown”. It is quite similar to the first game that we presented, only that in this game you will play with real humans and not with polar bears. The controls for this game are also different. You have to use the same arrow keys to control the player but you have to press the W key to pass or steal the puck, the Q key to shoot or make a body check. The E key is used for speed burst and the space bar to select the closest player to the puck. They may seem complicated, but after you learn them it will be really simple. There are two teams to choose from: Canada or United States. The United States team will have blue equipment, while Canada has red outfits. Until you begin the game you can also make some setups to the game, such as change the length of one period, change the difficulty, the graphic detail, the off-side, 2 line pass or penalty. The music from the game is nice, but that loud sound when scoring a goal can be annoying. The game looks quite nice, and it is fun to play. And let’s not forget that it is absolutely free, so any hockey fan should be pleased with it. Have fun!



These were just some free online hockey games, and of course there are so many more others. Just search for them and you will find them. And if you find some games that are really good, you can share them with us too. Good luck!

The Atari 2600 is one of the oldest game consoles. It was released back in October 1977.  This console is known as the one to make popular the hardware and cartridges containing games, instead of using games integrated in the console. So this way people were able to play any game they want just by buying it or changing disks with friends. Otherwise if you wanted other games, you had to buy a different game console. First there were some kind of cassettes with games, then they advanced to diskettes, CD-s and now most of the video games come on DVD-s. The name Atari 2600 comes from the part number of this console which was CX 2600.  The console had two joystick controllers, a conjoined pair of paddle controllers and a cartridge game. You had to connect this console to your TV and enjoy your favorite games.

This console was very popular in the 80’s and I’m sure that most of you who were child in that period remember the fun you used to have with games such as Pacman, Pitfall, Missile Command, E.T the Extraterrestrial , Atlantis, Kaboom, Space invaders and others. Today we are going to discuss the second most famous game for the Atari 2600 console, which is called Pitfall. This game has  about 4 million copies sold!

Pitfall is a video game released by Activision, for the Atari 2600 console in the year 1982. It is a pretty nice and good looking game (for the 80’s time)  and it is composed out of 255 different jungle scenes laid out horizontally. By running to the end of one scene you will get to the next. As advancing there are many dangers and obstacles to avoid and overcome as Harry (the game character) searches for 32 treasures. Because he has only 20 minutes to complete his quest he must utilize underground passage ways via latters. Each underground scene covered equals three above ground scenes. So these shortcuts can be very useful, if you know which are really shortcuts and which are dead ends. The player can run either to the right or to the left.   Running to the right, this way Harry will encounter more treasures early in the game then by running to the left. However, if you have trouble, remember that you can go the other way too. The fun thing of running to the left is that you move along with the direction of the rolling logs and not against them. Also if you die trying to cross an obstacle your next life will begin on the other side of it. By traveling down the latter 13 scenes to the right on where you start, take a shortcut to a latter leading to the scene 19. This way you will pass 5 above ground scenes, one of which contains crocodiles, your worst enemy. But you can find a even better shortcut than this if you take the latter found in scene 15, jumping 5 scorpions on your root. Notice that scorpions are wide enough to require exact timing on the jumps, otherwise they are easy enemies.

The latter leading up will go to scene 33 having skipped 4 crocodile scenes and one gold bar. You might skipping the gold bar is a bad idea, but between scenes 41 and 57 you will encounter six different treasures, which makes skipping the gold bar a good strategy. Now let’s talk about how to avoid your worst enemies: the crocodiles.  Run Harry to the edge of their lake and wait for their mouths to begin closing. You will notice that there are three crocodiles and all of their mouths are closing at the same time. Then jump on the first crocodile (with its mouth shut), and position Harry behind his jaws, where it can’t be grabbed by the first crocodile and neither by the second one. But also be careful not to stay on the blue surface (the water) because you will fall on it. Wait for all the mouths to close once again and then jump behind the jaws of the second crocodile. Do this again with the third crocodile and then jump again and move forward into the game.

We got so caught up in describing the game, that we forgot to mention that it is not necessary to have an Atari 2600 console to play this game. Yes it is true…you can play it directly on your computer. Just search for it on the internet, and you will easily find it on some sites. Here you will control Harry using the left and right arrow keys, and you will jump using the space bar. But of course this is not as fun as playing the game on a real console, with a joystick.

First you have a 20 minutes time, a score of 2000 and three lives (even though you see just 2 bars, there are actually 2 lives because 0 bars is also count as a life). As you begin the game time will begin to decrease. Your score will also decrease if you get hit by the logs.

The audio quality of the game is pretty nice, considering the time when it was made. You can hear a sound when jumping, when getting killed or collecting treasures and also when jumping on ropes. When doing this, Harry will make some kind of Tarzan noise :).

After all the game is quite difficult to play, especially with the jumps. Probably it’s more easier to play with a joystick, but when playing it from the keyboard of your computer you will easily get annoyed. But if you loved this game as a child, and you want to play it again…but your Atari 2600 console is broken, then you can always play it for free on the internet, without having to download or buy anything.
