The Ways In Which Funny Internet Browser Based Games Have Evolved Over the Years On The Net

By Christa Garrett


Because they're freeware and can be found on virtually any website, flash games and fun games are currently the most popular kind of computer games to play. Being very easy to play and quick to get the hang of, it's no surprise that flash games are so appealing. With the introduction of Java and Flash into all browsers, flash games have become insanely popular and can now be played by anyone who has access to the Internet and a computer.Until 1995 most websites had no or little media, since there was no technology that could support such features. Websites then were generally very bland and plain looking, and the Web was used mostly for research and writing.

The release of Macromedia Flash in 1996 changed all this. By installing this on certain websites, games became animated and interactive. Macromedia Flash not only revolutionized the format of online games, it also improved the functionality of websites. Macromedia Flash was originally intended to be used to make animation easier, and technological developments in programming eventually led to Flash, which paved the way for simple Internet games which could be played on the browser.

Since then flash games were increasingly being played by the online community, but it wasn't until 2001 did its popularity really take off. As quick, distracting forms of interactive entertainment, flash games and funny games appealed to a wide audience, most of which had only recently started using the Internet. Because of this sudden rise in popularity, web developers and programmers decided to streamline the most popular games at the time. Their efforts were highly successful, prompting the launch of remakes of games which were originally played on different platforms.

Of course these flash games had their setbacks. The most common problem then was that the technology couldn't keep up with mass demand. Flash-based games couldn't be played properly on older computers, and the animations would sometimes lag if the servers couldn't handle the traffic. These problems led to the development of Action Script 2.0 and Flash MX in 2004. Improvements in the organization of Flash-based applications as well as in the functionalities of most websites were thanks mainly to these two programs. 2004 likewise ushered in the era of scoreboards in Flash games, which only helped increase the format's popularity.

Although today's flash games and funny games are generally just as simple as their predecessors, they are still widely popular because they're just so fun to play. There are hundreds of thousands of people online which play the most popular cool games such as Bejewelled. Another new innovation is that now users can access certain websites to develop and upload their own flash games. Particularly AddictingGames.com allows users to do just that, and it's one of the most popular hosts for flash games. Because flash games are simple and easy to play, they are commonly played by people who want to get rid of stress or to be simply entertained. The evolution of flash games over the years shows us that these games have come a long way, and they'll only get better with time.
