Countless hours have been spent by many people playing those annoying little flash games that are too addictive for words! If you are one of these people, then you will understand when I say that these games have become internet phenomenons, they are truly indispensable parts of the internet for a large number of people. So let’s take a look at some of the games which have caused a storm in recent years:

* Bubble Struggle

You probably know this game as Bubble Trouble, which was it’s original name, however due to copyright reasons the name has since been changed to Bubble Struggle. This is without a doubt one of the most popular flash games in the world. Having been released in 2002 (that’s five years ago in case you were unsure) the game is still incredibly popular, and the increasing demand has even prompted the release of a sequel! The game is mainly played on various different game sites such as Miniclip or Arcadetown, and yet the game has still had over 40 million plays from it’s homepage! Players begin with five lives and have to shoot the bubbles for 22 levels in order to complete the game. Now you’re probably thinking that this sounds easy, but trust me, never has a simple online flash game been more frustrating than this one! It’s difficulty gives this game an edge over other flash games, which explains it’s vast fanbase around the world. If you haven’t tried playing this game, I suggest you hurry up and get playing, of course, if you have any work you need to be doing, do that first, because you probably won’t leave the computer for the next 10 hours once you begin.

* The Helicopter Game

As with most flash games that become incredibly popular, the graphical prowess of the game is usually not a big factor. The Helicopter Game has proven over the last few years that you can take a simple concept and make it huge! Rewind to the good old days of Pacman and Space Invaders and you will get a good idea of the graphics of the helicopter game. So enough about the graphics, what makes this game tick? Well first off, whoever programmed this game must have added a hell of a lot of nicotine into it, because once you begin trying to beat your previous score, you’ll probably never stop, until you get sacked from your job for gross misuse of the office internet connection. If you can click a mouse, you can play this game, but to play it well, you need lightning fast reactions and an even faster finger. Good luck playing this game, just don’t say I didn’t warn you it was addictive!

* The Impossible Quiz Game

Despite the name this quiz isn’t impossible, but the casual internet user has almost no chance of ever completing this mammoth game. The questions range from the absurd to the ridiculous (that’s right, there isn’t a single “logical” answer in the whole quiz). It’s addictiveness lies in it’s near impossibility. Because most of the questions are down to sheer luck until you understand them, the best way to play the game is just to try, try and try again. Chance of beating the quiz after 10 attempts? None. Chance of beating the quiz after 1000 attempts? Slightly Better. You get the picture, it isn’t completely impossible so therefore leaves you with just enough incentive to try and beat this beast!
