Free Classic Arcade Games
There are many sites offering online classic arcade games, but I really enjoy this one becuase it allows you to play them full screen instead of in a tiny window.

Three Fun Flash Games
I enjoy Flash games, but I don't enjoy most of the free online games sites that offer them. The typical Flash game site offers so many games that it is almost impossible to jump in and find one you like right away. I've picked three little flash games from WildStyleDesign.com that are very different, but all of them are fun in their own way. I'm sure you will like at least one of them. Enjoy!

Free Jigsaw Puzzles for Macs and Other Platforms
Because of the popularity of my free jigsaw puzzles, I frequently get asked for jigsaw puzzles that work with Mac computers. Unfortunately, I don't have the means to create Mac compatible versions of my free jigsaw puzzles. However, I have found a couple sites that have good free online jigsaw puzzles that Mac users, Linux users and Windows users can enjoy.

Free Online Mahjongg Game
There are many Mahjongg games among the free online games on the Net, but I particularly enjoy this one by Thomas Weibel. It is written entirely in DHTML and should work with any browser and operating system. After the page is fully loaded you can even continue playing if you disconnect from the Internet.

Tringo - Free Fun Online Puzzle Game

Free Online Samegame Versions
Samegame is arguably one of the most addicting free online games. There are many versions based on the game ChainShot which was writen for UNIX text systems in 1985 by Kuniaki Moribe. Some of the versions are more fun and more addicting than others. I set out to find the top five Samegame versions and almost didn't finish this article due to playing these insidious addicting free online games.
