With the high availability and the accessibility of internet, online games have become more popular among almost all the age categories of internet users. There are two basic categories when it comes to online games. The first and most popular category is browser based games which are relatively small in size. Most of the times, these are flash or Java based games. The second category of online games is more serious games and they have dedicated user communities. Apart from these games being browser based, the game itself has the ability to connect with other online gamers who play the same game via dedicated servers. Some of the best examples are Arena, Delta Force, Need For Speed, Joint Operations etc. Therefore, you may understand that, these games need a high bandwidth internet connection and some advanced graphics capabilities.

When it comes to popular browser-based games, there are so many sub categories. One of the most popular is Fun Games. They are easy to play or rather no game play at all. They are plain fun to be playing because these games are motivated by different factors such as politics, personalities, celebrities etc. These are the games that you would play taking five minutes in the middle of your work.

How many of you remember the good old games that we played when we were teenagers? Pac-Man, Dave 3D, Mario… ring any bells? Yes these are called Retro Games. Fortunately they are now available in most of the online game websites for free play. As for me, I still have fun playing these legacy games because it’s like going back in a time machine.
