I love flash games for the low investment on so many levels. They're free. They're quick to learn. They're quick to start playing. And most of them you can finish in a limited number of settings. I can have finished a level of gemcraft chapter 0 (if I'm lucky), in the same time it would take me to start playing TF2. That said, a lot of these are great games which you can sink days into.

They quality is also striking. A lot of these are better than second gen console games. I'm not sure any of them are better than the best genesis or NES games, but they're better than average, especially on the strategy front.

Couple new ones:
Tower of Greed an amazingly addictive arcade game where you need to collect loot from the tower without getting too greedy
Tarnation a simple but captivating action/puzzler where you need to stop different coloured balls of tar from contaminating your water supply
Morningstar Futuristic point n click adventure with slick graphics. Check out the intro

Nanaca Crash is even better when you know it's based on a Hentai.

Not that I know that.

I'd never know that.

Great list. So far not all the games are great in themselves, but it's been a while since I've spent time with Flash games (something I used to use as my predominant gaming).

Played Hex Empire-- deep, frustrating but enjoyable. Am I the only one here playing Flash games?

Nay, sir. Nay.

What? No Star Baron?! Inconceivable!

Why did I have to come into this thread only to learn from lobster that a silly game I competed with a roommate in college over and I have on my harddrive in a .swf file was based on hentai?

You weren't kidding when you said the order was random. Game #1 could be a real turn off... if I was a filthy skimmer.

You get what you pay for with this list.

Some more great ones:

Crunchball 3000: a fast-paced futuristic sports game that will surely remind you of Amiga classic Speedball 2.

Armor Wars: an excellent tactical turn-based card game set in a fantasy universe.

Heavy Weapons: a slick all-action shooter set in small levels with a top-down perspective.

Well, after trying 5 random ones, I may not bother with the 516 others, even though I know nanaca crash is pretty fun despites its roots.

I am a frequent visitor of www.onemorelevel.com

They have the majority of these games and they separate them into categories for easier searching.

Polygonal Fury is a great game.

Double post

I am shocked, shocked I tell you, to discover that Stick Cricket hasn't been mentioned.

Overhauled as usual for the Ashes tests. Definitely one of the best sporting flash games out there.

I love the game of cricket and I have the EA Sports cricket game so really miffed that Stick Cricket is not on the list. Also happy that there is the snooker game in the list.

I think everyone should try this one, it's a bit like animal crossing and incredibly polished & fun: Bunni: how we first met

This game is really fun and addicting! You move a little meter maid car around and ticket people. www.mindopener.net/tickettime/play.p...

Wow this thread is spamalicious.

I saw Knightfall listed, which is awesome. The sequel is finished and is about 376% better (clocked).

http://armorgames.com/play/4206/knig...

I don't think it's on Kongregate, yet. If you like puzzle/RPG hybrids, this is a nearly perfect game.

Spiderman City Raid is a knock-off of Ninja Ropes. That is all.

Thanks for bringing this list back up - nice to have something to check for short distractions!

My favourite game wasn't listed

Ultimate Crab Battle!

Routine after work on Friday: listen to conference call, play flash game, decompress. This list will keep me busy for the next 10 years.

Talk about an interesting necro...

It's going to take me a while to check all of these out...

Some great games on this list. Thanks for the resurrection.

Oh my god, this has been written on June 3rd, 2009 and still get comments! Perhaps the guys are still on game #400 - I got you from google anyway. It's a great list. Thanks.
