So you’ve decided to spend the afternoon procrastinating, instead of studying/revising/practising/billing/doing the dishes/doing the tax return/some other apparently unpleasant task. Well, if you’re going to waste time, you might as well do so in style. Therefore, rather than waste time looking for how you may best waste time, I have compiled a list of the most amusing Flash games (also known as ‘Flash timewasters’) from various internet sources. The fruits of that research are displayed below. (My personal favourites are Defend Your Castle and Lego Junkbot.)

Warning:

Many of these games contain sound. While it can usually be disabled, there will often be a short burst of or other sound effects throughout the game. Use your own judgment as to whether it is appropriate to access this material from the environment in which you are accessing this site, and respect the work ethic of those around you.

Copyright information: unless otherwise stated, no files are being reproduced on this website and original published versions of the games are being linked to. Trade marks and other property rights used or arising out of the games remain the property of their respective owners, with whom this site is unaffiliated. Many of the games are also addictive, so again, use your own judgment about whether you (a) can afford the time; and (b) possess the self-discipline necessary to cease playing.
