Friday Fun: Five More Time Wasting Online Games
It’s been a while since we’ve had a Friday Fun post, so today we decided to go through some fun time wasting online flash games that you can play while you’re sitting on boring conference calls at work. Just don’t get caught, the pointy haired bosses won’t be happy!
Micro Olympics
The first game is called Micro Olympics, a simple yet addictive game where you shoot your airplane out of a cannon and compete for the farthest distance. You earn money on each level to upgrade your plane for more challenging stages.
Play Micro Olympics on kongregate.com
Hobo
This one is an 2D arcade style fighter where your hobo can beat up people and also blow snot and spit on them. This really has the feel of the old Double Dragon arcade game but with goofy characters.
Elite Forces
This game is based on Command & Conquer, one of the most popular RTS games. Elite Forces is a quick flash version of your favorite RTS type scenario.
Play Elite Forces on kongregate.com
Gutter Ball
Next in our list is Gutter Ball, a simple yet addictive bowling game that you can spend lots of time perfecting your score while working on those TPS Reports!
Play Gutter Ball on shockwave.com
Desktop Tower Defense
Desktop Tower Defense, a flash game we’ve written about previously, has got to be the most addictive waste of time ever! Don’t start playing this one if you hope to ever be productive again.
