It was a long and exhausting task: playing hundreds of online games for hours in a row, day after day. It was hard, but someone had to do it.
The result is the list that you will find below. Enjoy!
The 150 Best Online Flash Games
Arcade and Classic Games
18. Commander Keen
If you never played Commander Keen, you are with the minority. This classic has been revived on Flash, and while the quality is not outstanding, it will sure entertain the series fans for a while.

19. Tetris
Perhaps the most famous game world wide, we sure could not leave it out of the list. Tetris is guaranteed to keep anyone busy for a couple of hours. The Flash version is pretty basic, but it gets the job done.

20. Frogger
The game hasn’t change at all since its debut on arcade machines many years ago. Get the little frog from his home to the top of the screen — all while crossing a highway full of vehicles and a river where you have to step on logs to avoid crocodiles.

The very first video game ever is also available on Flash. This little piece of game is coming straight from 1972! Just move your paddle and don’t miss the ball.

22. Insane Orb
You can also play a more hardcore version of Pong called Insane Orb. The principle is the same, but on the different levels you will have gravity fields, bouncing blocks and other items.

23. Space Invaders
When a game has its own Wikipedia page, you know it must be good, right? This is one of the earliest shooting games ever and also the top rated arcade game by the Guinness World Records book.

24. Super Smash Flash
Super Smash Bros, anyone? If you never played it, it is basically a fighting game where you can match the characters from several Nintendo game titles, including Mario, Zelda and Pokemon. Not as good as the original (the game was released for the Nintendo64, after all), but still funny to play.

25. Pacman
Another great hit from the arcade games. Some research confirmed that over 94% of the North American population recognizes the Pacman character. No kidding!

26. Pacxon
Love Pacman, but tired of beating the same levels? Well, give Pacxon a try. You will need to “cut out” 80% or more of the screen without getting hit by ghosts. On each level, more ghosts will be floating around. Some of them even have special powers.

27. Contra 20th Anniversary Edition
Created by Konami, the Contra series first appeared on arcades. They became extremely popular, though, with the console versions for the NES and the SNES. The game is basically a shoot-’em-up with a side-view perspective.

28. Super Mario World Flash
Super Mario World is the most famous platform game ever published. It sold 20 million copies for the SNES alone, becoming the all time best seller game title for that console. While not perfect, the Flash version is not bad at all.

29. Metal Slug Flash
Another classic “run and gun” game title. You will need to shoot an endless stream of enemies with all sorts of weapons and vehicles. Needless to say, at the end of each level, you will also need to kill a boss. Classic!

30. Raiden X
Vertical shoot-’em-up where you have an airplane and need to kill the enemies coming on the opposite direction. As you would expect, you have several weapon upgrades along the way, stationary cannons, big bosses and lots of fun.
