Flash games are a total blast. Of course, that's when they work. Many schools have blocked flash game websites and even if you manage to get on them, your history will be tracked. Many schools and businesses have cut down on and gamers & procrastinators and have made it impossible for you to game at school/work. But nothing is impossible on a computer.

This does require you to have an unrestricted home computer, though this can sometimes be done on an unwatched library computer.

      Warnings

      • When you are bored at work or school, you might be tempted to do a Google search for "flash games," and try to click on something like the 200th result. Sometimes you can find a good small website that isn't blocked yet, but most of the time, those pages are ridden with viruses, popups, and Trojans. To play it safe, stick with downloading the files, and only getting them from reputable sources.
        Thanks
