Post any fun, addictive, and highly frustrating Flash games you’ve come across here. I’ll start by submitting [N](http://www.addictinggames.com/ngame.html). A full version with user-submitted levels and a level editor can be found [here](http://www.harveycartel.org/metanet/downloads.html). Another great one I’ve found is called [Bloxorz](http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/games/bloxorz). Very fun. Any others? ---

[Here’s a link](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=456878) to a thread I posted which in turn links to a site called Hecklerspray, which (among other things) posts links to some of the most annoying and random flash games I’ve ever had the misfortune to meet. Games like how many photocopies you can make of your butt before the boss fires you. A quest type game wherein you seek out items to damage yourself with in order to commit suicide at work. Irritating little flash kitty that you have to box in to win. There are new links every day and I still haven’t gotten to the end of the archive on this one. There is enough flash annoyance on this one site to cause heads to explode for millenia I fear… So yeah, enjoy! 😃 ---

hooray for N! Actually, the first link posted is to an unofficial, illegitimate web version someone hacked. It doesn’t run nearly fast enough or smoothly enough, and is only version 1.2 (way old). The creators are currently working on a better web version. Here’s another link for N downloads: [http://www.thewayoftheninja.org/n.html](http://www.thewayoftheninja.org/n.html) It also has viewable online highscore replays (click the ‘highscores’ link)! Very fun. here’s my latest fave, [Cursor x10](http://www.nekogames.jp/mt/2008/01/cursor10.html). It’s one of those games that experiments with several previous ‘runs/lives’ – intriguing. ---

There’s tons of good flash games on the Jay is Games site. My current faves: [Gimme Friction](http://jayisgames.com/archives/2007/08/gimme_friction_baby.php) and [Bound Bear](http://jayisgames.com/archives/2007/07/bound_bear_quest.php) I also love this game because it’s very similar to a game I invented and programmed into my graphing calculator in college 😃 [Death Star Battles](http://www.gamelinks.com/game.php?linkid=1823) I’ve had fun playing online versions of Pictionary, Settlers of Cataan, and Roborally, but I don’t have the links handy… ---

> **[Play Classic Board Games like Backgammon, Connect 4 and Tic Tac Toe](https://casualgameplay.com/tile-games?gametype=replay&gameID=2)** > > Find all your favorite classic tile games. Choose from a wide selection of games like Rummikub, Dominoes, Mahjong, and many more. Play alone or with your friends online – it’s completely free and easy to set up. Become the ultimate tile gaming... A game [Gimme Friction as mentioned by someone above] that is extraordinarily simplistic, yet effective. The designer’s intent is supposedly that you figure out the rules yourself so I’ll spoiler a very basic rundown of how to play for those who just want to get to it: The cannon launches orbs. Once they stop moving, they expand until they hit either a boundary wall or another orb. You score points by destroying orbs; you destroy an orb by bouncing into it 3 times. If your ball bounces back below the dotted line, the game is over. It’s a frustrating yet addictive game. After more time spent playing than I intend to admit, my high is a whopping 14. I’m sure one of you can do better. If those that do can tell me some sort of effective strategy, I’m all ears. ---

I introduce you to The grow games There’s [Grow 1](http://www.eyezmaze.com/eyezblog_en/blog/2006/12/grow_ver1.html#monster) [Grow 2](http://www.eyezmaze.com/eyezblog_en/blog/2006/06/grow_ver2.html#monster) [Grow 3](http://www.eyezmaze.com/eyezblog_en/blog/2002/02/grow_ver3.html#monster) [Grow RPG](http://www.eyezmaze.com/grow/RPG/index.html) [Grow Cube](http://www.eyezmaze.com/eyezblog_en/blog/2005/09/grow_cube.html#monster) [Grow Island](http://shingakunet.com/special/10054301/0285/index.html) They are absolutely addicting, they’re puzzle games so gauge how each affects each other and how long they take to develop to get them down. By the way, Grow Island has two “complete” endings, each equally awesome, and I’d also say Grow 1 does as well though technically only one “wins” theres another sequence which I think is awesome (you’ll know it when you see it). Also on the list (but not grow related) are [Cat With Bow Golf](http://www.buzzedgames.com/play-4530-Cat_With_Bow_Golf.html) [Uh… something](http://www.secrettechnology.com/gamegame/gamegame.html) Okay that last one is just messed up and I apologize for mind-screwing you, but it had to be posted. ---

Everyone needs to know about the site [Jay Is Games](http://jayisgames.com/). Some of my current favourites: [Fancy Pants 2](http://armorgames.com/play/553/the-fancy-pants-adventure-world-2) (Sequel to the excellent [Fancy Pants 1](http://www.fancypantsadventures.com/)) [Sola Rola](http://www.gimme5games.com/index.jsp?id=solarola) [The Dark Room](http://dark.room.fizzlebot.com/) [Darktop Tower Defence 1.5](http://www.handdrawngames.com/DesktopTD/Game.asp) [Murloc RPG](http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/301531) OH! Also [The Impossible Quiz](http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/365143) I’ll post more as I remember. 🙂 **Jragon** that “Uh… something” game is awesome. Makes me think of something Radiohead would do, if they did flash games.
