I found some free flash games. Do not believe the high score crap, it doesn't work. If you want to brag about your score, you better save a screen shot. Other than that, have fun. If they don't work, let me know and I'll be more than happy to ignore you... just kidding, let me know.

Space Invaders
You can't get anymore retro than this classic shoot-em-up

technology :-) . Now Featuring High

Frogger
Strangely addictive game that I remember playing on my old
Amstrad PC back in the day when Windows and MS-DOS was still
in its embryotic stages. You are the frog and your task is to
make it across the road without being hit by traffic, and
finally make it across the river by skilfully hitching a ride
on the floating logs. Sounds simple enough, but it's the end
pockets which are the hardest - and watch out for those pesky
crocodiles!
Special Instructions : Left/Right :
User your left/right arrows. To move up/forward - use Up arrow

Moon Patrol
Classic 'left-to-right' shoot em' up game that I remember
playing vividly on my old Atari 2600. An impressive yet quite
challenging action/shooter game with its unique 3D graphics,
funky techno background music - and its revolutionary
gameplay, that's still good even by todays standards - Ok,
maybe not - but Moon Patrol excels in so many areas that it's
sure to please diehard Atari 2600 fans :)

Donkey Kong
This classic game first appeared at the arcades in 1981,
and was the first to introduce such characters as Mario,
Donkey Kong and Peach. Donkey Kong was the product of a
Nintendo artist named Shigeru Miyamoto. Miyamoto did the
entire game himself (even the music), the only help he got was
with the name. He and a manager decided they'd call it "Donkey
Kong" because "kong" would imply a gorilla was involved, and
"donkey" was used because their Japanese-to-English dictionary
said it meant "stubborn, wily, and goofy." The story : Donkey
Kong has stolen Mario's girlfriend and taken her to the top of
a steel structure. You move Mario over girders and up ladders,
leap over tumbling barrels, dodge lethal fireballs and jump
onto fast-moving elevators, trying to rescue Mario's
girlfriend from Donkey Kong
Special
Instructions : Space Bar to jump; Use your left/right
arrow keys to move from left to right, etc. To climb ladders

Tetris
Tetris is life. Think about it : As time passes, life's
little problems incessantly pour down in chunks. Somehow,
someway, you must conquer these hurdles, fitting them together
so you can move on. Ok, maybe I'm taking the metaphor too far.
In any case, this is one of the all time classic games and it
was Alexey Pajitnov who created Tetris on an Electronica 60
while working for the Academy of Sciences in Moscow. Tetris
was released in the United States in 1986. The game's
popularity was tremendous, and many were instantly hooked - it
was a software blockbuster. Now Featuring
High Scores!

Duck Hunt
Released in 1984 by Nintendo, Duck Hunt was one of the first games on the NES platform to use the 'light gun'. The basic idea of this game is pretty simple - you're a duck hunter armed with a pistol and your trusty dog. You have three shots to shoot one or two ducks each round. After ten rounds of duck hunting (you'll probably be rather bored of shooting duck at this point), you go to the shooting range and shoot at clay pigeons for another ten rounds - although the dog is absent. The game is rather fun and satisfying initially but gets old quickly. The sound effects are pretty much what you'd expect for a game from the early 1980s - that is, awful by todays standards - gameplay and graphics are simple - but it remains a classic and is fun to play every once in a while.Special Instructions : Be patient for this game to load.

Pong
Pong, while not the first videogame, was the first coin-op arcade game and the first mainstream videogame that was available to almost everyone. The origins of Pong lie with an abstract tennis game created with an old oscilloscope and some vacuum tubes by Willy Higinbotham way back in 1958. What eventually became "Pong" was a pretty simple game with simple rules - hit the ball across the playing field and try your best to hit it past your opponents paddle on the other side.Special Instructions : Use your mouse to guide your paddle up and down.

Star Castle
You may not remember Star Castle - actually, I didn't either - but visually this game (released in 1980) uses the same 'vector graphics' that are seen in games such as Asteroids and Battlezone. Vector graphics are, as seen in the screen shot to the right, simple lines to create objects - and while it may seem cheesey compared to present day graphics, they were considered cutting edge stuff back in the '70s and early '80s. This was also one of the first games to use an experimental artificial intelligence to harrass the game player's ship. A barely noticable feature of the game from our perspective, but a fundamental element of all video games today. Your task in Star Castle is to break through the three layers of walls and destroy the central behemoth. Success in this game is primarily determined by how well you can control your ship.Special Instructions : Use the space bar to fire, move around using your arrows keys. Click Here to Play
Asteroids
In the years after Star Wars, anything involving outer space, speedy interstellar craft and dangerous battles was considered golden. Into this arena of sci-fi fantasy came Atari’s Asteroids, one of the most enduring hits in video game history. Atari’s recipe for addiction consisted of the following: one screen, five buttons, one ship, a few UFO’s, and several ship-smashing asteroids. Smack dab in the center of the action was your triangle-shaped spacecraft, adrift in a sea of space rocks. The Blasting large, slow-moving asteroids turned them into two medium-sized, speedier asteroids. Another blast at the medium asteroids split them into small, fast-moving asteroids, which could be vaporized with one more shot. Thus, if you started firing wildly into fields of big asteroids, you would likely end up in an even bigger mess than you started with, facing a swarm of tiny, zippy asteroids. The controls allow you to rotate left and right, thrust, warp into hyperspace, and most importantly, to fire your blaster at the rocky menaces. For a generation of video game addicts, Asteroids will always mean simple graphics, stressful and addictive gameplay, and dreams of high-scoring glory.
