Friday Fun: Five More Time Wasting Online Games

It's been a while since we've had a Friday Fun post, so today we decided to go through some fun time wasting online flash games that you can play while you're sitting on boring conference calls at work. Just don't get caught, the pointy haired bosses won't be happy!

Micro Olympics

The first game is called Micro Olympics, a simple yet addictive game where you shoot your airplane out of a cannon and compete for the farthest distance. You earn money on each level to upgrade your plane for more challenging stages.

Hobo

This one is an 2D arcade style fighter where your hobo can beat up people and also blow snot and spit on them. This really has the feel of the old Double Dragon arcade game but with goofy characters.

Elite Forces

This game is based on Command & Conquer, one of the most popular RTS games. Elite Forces is a quick flash version of your favorite RTS type scenario.

Desktop Tower Defense, a flash game we've written about previously, has got to be the most addictive waste of time ever! Don't start playing this one if you hope to ever be productive again.

    I hope the GTD harpies punish you for this temptation.

    I think the Geek has already posted something about the Desktop Tower Defense a few months back.

    What a way to throw half a day's work into the trash bin. :))

    Micro Olympics was a challange in the first but when I got the ski's on the plane I made the 700. mark

    I love to play games on my computer and I have several of them now, but I am looking for an old one and it is nowhere to be found. Perhaps one of you may know how I can locate the old Windows game….Tetris?
