Escape Velocity. The latest version is Escape Velocity Nova and is quite good, but you can still get the original also. I remember playing this game in like the mid-late 90s. It’s very entertaining and provides almost endless casual or dedicated gameplay.

Computer games are steadily becoming popular not only with children, but adults also.

In a survey carried out recently, it was discovered that in the United States alone, over 60 percent of adults spend almost 10 hours per week playing games.

At present, millions of people play Flash games across the world. This great program is used very widely for creating graphics rich and interactive games.

Flash games are also very easy to learn in comparison to games based on other platforms. Anyone can learn to play Flash online games without needing too much time. It wouldn’t be far-fetched to say that Flash spells the future of the online gaming industry.

The colorful and smartly turned out games parlors with fetching displays that vie with each other are losing business as a result of the hectic and tight schedule that people are tied to nowadays. And when they find some time, they prefer to play Flash online games from the convenience and comfort of their home. Because of the scarcity of leisure time, people prefer to steal some quick moments away from daily chores to have some fun. And the most appropriate source of entertainment is the Internet, where they can get more options than any other medium.

Maybe not, but at least they will be able to interact with others. And, you can monitor their actions somewhat or restrict their Internet activities if you make use of what many ISPs are offering. That is, parental controls on accounts set up particularly for children.

So, what are parents supposed to do as far as allowing their children to play online games is concerned? Well, as was pointed out earlier, children of any age should be allowed the opportunity to learn to use a computer. At present, it’s an essential skill. And the easiest way to get them interested in computers is to allow them to play online games. Because then, they will have fun while learning. However, a safe environment should be ensured.
