Good Free Online Games Are Not That Hard To Find

By Adriana Noton


As the market for video games grows stronger everyday, there are more and more developers using the internet to distribute their games. Some of these gaming companies and individuals have chosen to make free online games, or they have released older games to the public domain. There are also hobbyists who have produced surprisingly good work and many of these are available online.

When it comes to older classics that have been re-released, you may need to download an emulator to play them as many of today's systems are just too advanced. But with so many great titles from the 80s and 90s available, it is well worth it. Some of the titles from that period influenced many of today's smash hits, and are still good playing experiences for the avid gamer.

Many of the more modern downloads you will find, will be either freeware which is one hundred percent free, or shareware, which either offers a trial playing period or a product without all of the features. This is an excellent way to test a product before committing to it, while in some cases the shareware is basically the entire game.

There are also plenty of short fast games that are perfect when you only have a few moments free. There are also dozens of versions of popular family games like Chess, Backgammon, Pool, Scrabble or the many card games out there. These titles are as popular as the original games, and you will find many different versions and variations.

Puzzle games have always been popular though in their many forms, and it comes as no surprise that they are amongst the most downloaded of all genres. Despite the graphic revolution and fantastic gaming technology available today, games like Tetris remain the favorite of many casual gamers.

The same can be said for the puzzles you would normally find in the daily newspaper. The crossword and Sudoku are two of the most popular of all free online games. There are also versions that continue to download new puzzles each day, meaning an almost infinite number of puzzles to solve.

Hidden-object games can be great fun as you search a room or scene for a list of things. Many of these games come with stories or quests to fulfill, and can be a great way to the pass the time.

For adventure lovers, there are many fans who have tried their hand at this genre, including re-making classic old titles. Fans of the old point-and-click adventures can find a number of classics that have been re-released or made free to download, including some of the best games ever made from that period.

Remember that if you have a game on your cell phone or iPad that you really enjoy, to look out for its bigger brother on the PC or Mac. These free online games usually have a few more features than their mobile versions and in most cases play a lot better.

But whatever you enjoy, there is something on the net for you. So get looking for some free online games until you can afford to buy a new title or two, you may even find yourself buying less in the shops too.
