Updated 18.8.12 Let's go back to talking about online games, the simple and immediate ones, the ones to play on the fly, maybe to take a break at work or to spend 10 minutes or half an hour, when you are waiting to go out or during a wait, without engaging in something that requires head and time.
In short, those games similar to coin-ops, those that were in the arcade until a few years ago, where, if the game ends, we start again.
No strategy, no reasoning and no realism; simply an airplane or a character that shoots and kills enemies with two-dimensional scrolling, horizontal or vertical, like the best arcade games of the past.
So here are 6 very funny and dynamic flash games, all free, to be played immediately via the internet, without registration and registration, without tutorials and instructions where you can shoot and kill yourself going on in the paintings, without ever stopping until you dies.
If you know similar ones, do not hesitate to report new ones!
1) DogFight 2 is a fun dogfighting plane combat game, where you face other planes that move in the same way and that you have to shoot down. Dogfight 2 is very simple, but fun, with really good side-scrolling or horizontal scrolling .
The control system is dead simple, it is possible to rotate left or right on the screen using the arrow keys, in order to take the right trajectory to go up or down.
The other two buttons are the space bar to shoot, and either CTRL or ALT to throw a bomb.
The bullets of the enemies must be avoided with aerial pirouettes and there are additional points if you do acrobatic evolutions.
The design and graphics of the Dogfight 2 levels are well done, reasonably difficult and fast but without exaggerating.
There are 5 lives available and every time you complete 5 levels you can pick up from that point on.
A unique aspect of the game are the 4 maneuvers with which it is possible, for a moment, to confuse the enemies: flying through a cloud, making a turn of death, flying on the ground, and a steep dive cause confusion and delays between the enemies .
During missions you must shoot down enemy planes, airships, and ground installations.
2) SkyFire is truly a fast-paced game, where a spaceship that moves on by itself moves with the mouse . Every second there are new enemies to kill that appear in series and shoot addsso.
We must therefore avoid them and kill them without thinking and without hesitation.
If you are lucky enough to be at home (or have a nice set of headphones, if you are working), follow the fast pace and the continuous scrolling and try to shoot as many monsters as possible to get to the inevitable final monster.
In addition I must say that the graphics are really nice, beautiful colored, clear and designed in a manga fashion.
Skyfyre also allows you to save the game so as not to start over so you can stop a game and end it later.
3) Strike Force Heroes is a very nice and fast-paced, deathmatch team flash game that is played against computer-led opponents.
The game is a 2D shooter very similar to Metal Slug, with different warriors, but similar to Rambo, each armed and ready to fire at all times against the countless enemies.
You can control the character with the WASD keys, change weapons with the Q, reload with R and shoot with the mouse.
4) Sleepless Assassin is a side-scrolling or horizontal scrolling flash game. As a mode, it is very similar to many others but more romantic because the character shoots with a bow and arrows, climbs and studies movements to avoid traps.
The particular thing is that, since the default view is quite close, the screen zooms back to give a wider view of the situation and, with the bow, you can draw trajectories to kill more distant enemies. .
Perhaps it is the least simple of the list because it requires a minimum of practice and a minimum of reasoning to create the right trajectories with the bow, however, it is very fun and excellent for spending half an hour of pastime.
5) Dirk Valentine is a two-dimensional online game in which you maneuver a character who has to go ahead for the picture, kill the enemies and save the hostages . You use the keyboard to move and jump and the mouse to target the machine gun and shoot.
Dirk, the character of the game, is equipped with a gun that shoots a harpoon chain and that must be used not only to kill, but also to create jump bridges and platforms.
This arcade game is therefore a real platformer, very fast and fun, with well-designed graphics and immediate and fluid playability.
It is not 5 minutes on the fly because there are so many pictures and the missions contained in the game can make the game last even a couple of hours!
6) Top Dog 2 is an excellent online game of planes against other planes . The aim is therefore to shoot down the enemies, without falling to the ground.
The controls are simple but operating the plane is not really easy because there is a bit of realism and you can't go upside down thinking not to fall to the ground.
The plane only goes from left to right and not vice versa, with the up arrow, it accelerates and then maneuvers with the right and left; CTRL and ALT fire bombs and bullets respectively.
When hit, you don't die immediately, the plane is damaged but repair chests can be found during the game.
The peculiarity lies in the fact that the screen is stopped, if the plane goes all the way to the right, it succeeds from the left.
7) Amorphous is a really fun and action-packed online flash game to play with the mouse.
A pastime that keeps the player with a certain adrenaline because you have to be very quick to use a large knife with which to pulp green and mushy little monsters, similar to blobs.
The gameplay is really excellent, the little man moves by himself following the mouse arrow while with the right button you use the knife to kill the blobs.
8) Elephant Quest is a 2D platformer with horizontal scrolling where you run, jump and shoot with different missions where you have to collect bonuses and scores.
9) Red Riot is a shooter game where a flying man moves and shoots anything that appears on the screen.
It looks a bit like a spaceship game, with ships ready to hit and cannons firing from the ground.
It is better to kill all the enemies a little at a time, avoiding to go on making too many of them appear together, unless you want to die quickly.
The game has excellent graphics, very accurate.
10) Death Vs Monstars is a classic shooter video game and one of the most fun and fast-paced online flash games that can be found around.
There is no need to shoot, the skull that moves with the mouse, shoots by itself and the goal is to avoid all the enemies and hit them by moving.
There are also power ups to collect on the screen that enable special weapons and bonuses.
11) Those who love space shooter games can immediately play Enigmata, a rather classic and very funny spaceship game.
The screen goes on by itself upwards and the spaceship must shoot at all the enemies who come towards it.
It starts with a simple weapon that can be upgraded by moving forward in the game.
At the end of each level there is a final monster to shoot down by shooting all the weapons.
You play with darts and shoot with the bar.
If you like, you can continue playing on Enigmata 2
12) Penguinz is a nice game, where a penguin goes on the horizontal scenario and shoots other enemy penguins.
The best feature of the game is the graphics and the splatter way in which the penguins die.
13) Alien Hominid is a really fun game where you drive a hominid armed with a gun who has to shoot enemies.
The graphics are very nice and nice, the little man moves with the darts, shoots with the A and jumps with the S.
It looks exactly like one of those arcade games in which so many coins were thrown.
14) Gang Garrison 2 is in all respects Team Fortress 2 done in 2D and 8-bit. Most of the game mechanics have been modified from the original, only to better adapt to 2D scrolling but, for the rest, it is really identical.
You can then choose which type of warrior to be, join a team and shoot your opponents trying to score as many points as possible for your team.
The characters are the same and you can play multiplayer online, with and against other real players who are found all over the world.
15) Team Fortress Arcade instead is a real makeover where you can choose one of the characters from the original Team Fortress 2 and play as it once was in the game room, shooting against all the enemies that you meet, going forward towards the left side until you meet the boss of the painting.
It is not a team game against a team like Gang Garrison 2 or TF2, but only a classic arcade where, however, you can play up to 4 players against the computer.
The current team members appear as bosses while the player wades through the waves of the Red Engineer's automatic killing machines.
16) The game of the movie the Mercenaries, a really fun arcade of the genre Shoot and kill.
BONUS: Metal Slug everyone knows it, it is one of the historical video games of the arcade genre that has made many rich arcades all over the world and which remains among the most fun two-dimensional shooters in history.
In Metal Slug you drive a soldier who is worse than Rambo and who proceeds forward in war zones worse than Cambodia!
Shoot and kill with all sorts of rifle or weapon, if the enemy is close, kill him with a knife, there are armored vehicles that can be found during the game that allow you to devastate everyone more quickly.
The hostages scattered around the cadres must be saved and, at the end of each mission, a final monster must be confronted by shooting him madly.
There is never any respite in Metal Slug and sometimes the screen is so full of enemies that you can even shoot blindly!
Bellissimo, is a game available for free, to be played online immediately on the internet, in three versions:
