The era has passed when computer toys fell into our hands exclusively on CDs and required a special, reverent attitude - lengthy installation, configuration, passing the game level by level ... Modern youth basically switched to flash games on social networks and on specialized sites: they work quickly, distract from work and hard thoughts, in the case of a boss or parents appearing on the horizon, they quickly turn off or turn into tray. What else is needed to kill a bored teenager with free time?
The popularity of simple games and the demand for this type of entertainment have long been "sniffed" by application makers who want to earn extra money on players. And in social networks a variety of "farms", "Pokemon", "Fir-trees" began to appear, which are addictive, give rise to a competitive spirit in the player’s soul and stimulate purchases of useless jewelry for their playing space. Where did all the normal go now almost nowhere. However, there are sites where you can find free children's toys, indie games and experimental projects for which no one is asking for payment yet.
For convenience, on such sites, games are grouped into male and female, that is, for boys and girls. This is seen primarily in color: pink against blue or blue, as expected. Boys are mainly invited to fight and drive on vehicles, and girls should be satisfied with life simulators reminiscent of The Sims, a variety of puzzles and games about fashion, dressing up and make-up. All this is quite interesting, and sometimes even provokes creative ideas, but such games are usually very short. Sometimes they also carry hidden advertisements (after all, you need to somehow pay for beer for the developers) or even find themselves crammed with viruses ...
Another category of free flash games is experimental, or indie games, which are developed by amateurs and most often endowed with unusual gameplay, plot or some kind of psychedelic graphics. Many indie games are based on the physics or properties of materials, which makes them not only a pleasant way to pass a couple of hours, but also unobtrusive educational material. Therefore, if you are advised to play online for someone underage, then certainly not in MMORPG or flash games with races and fights. Most indie projects are actually very well done, despite the didactic spirit (if you are not familiar with the word "didactic", you will not notice it there, you can not worry). So it’s advisable to play something useful in your free time ... or does someone not want to grow into a successful adult in the future?
