Comments on: Five sites that lead to online gaming addiction

Online gaming sites are all over the place on the Web, but here's a peek at a handful that are just too good.

Two more sites. Onemorelevel.com has new games posted daily, and some of the most addicting games on the internet. It was created by the original owner of addictinggames.com, and is better organized. Also, VirtualNES.com has very many NES ROMs, fully playable, in a Java emulator. No downloads, nothing illegal, just free NES games.

Amazing how far we've come - anyone remember MUDs? (Multi-user dungeons). Even in this world of big 3D MMOs they're still thriving. Check out aardwolf.com for an example that still has hundreds online at any given time, or topmudsites.com for a list.

You guys forgot a MAJOR one! Moola.com anyone? ;)

This one offers lots of old-school nintendo, a few Sega games, it also offers lots of Flash games. One of my favorites, offered at last look, is Mike Tyson's Punch out. I've played a shortened version of Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Mario Brothers. All of them are free and require no sign-up to play. Just be careful what games you play at the office and if you have adblock, it would help as this site also lists some more adult games. They all render in javascript, but are worth it.

Of course there are a lot of games sites, thousands probably, but you have to include fizzy.com, a real rising star.

Never tried it out. I'll have to see what it's like.

Thanks!

Loved the article.

If you're into sports games, try <a href="www.whatifsports.com">www.whatifsports.com</a>. They have heavily addictive games plus a free section where you can matchup any historical team from any season.

If you're a baseball fan, try <a href="www.whatifsports.com/hbd/">Hardball Dynasty</a> -- you'll be addicted quickly.

hallpass.com - many, many - and again, most holding for a few days, and then you find something new...

shockwave.com - a good selection of flash games.

and freeworldgroup.com has a large selection as well.


The best way to find these? When you click on a game, it will say where it came from - click there and check it out! :)

www.cafe.com is another great site that you might want to check out! Games are 100% free and of great quality. You can play with your friends or solo...

Have fun,

I love Pogo.com. I've been a member there since 2001 and I still play it daily!

How about Candystand.com? That's how I got into online gaming in the first place...
