I spent a lot of my youth on the family computer. The internet was still new and exciting at this point. Websites were much more colorful and full of life as opposed to the very minimalist look that populates most of the internet today. And, most importantly, I was lucky enough to live in the golden age of browser games!

Browser games are where you will find the most creative micro-titles in the gaming world. Motherload, Habbo Hotel, Classroom, Fallen London. The list is endless. And the browser game sector is still going strong to this day. Today I will be showing you the 7 best browser gaming websites. Where you will find all the hottest new titles and the old classics.

Addicting Games

Addicting Games was one of the heavy hitters of the browser gaming scene back in the day. And it is also one of the few sites to still be running. The website has gone through a number of different iterations over the years. With its current version being the most streamlined I’ve seen.

Addicting Games lives up to its name. It has an absolutely massive catalog of games on offer. From new titles to the classics. The website conveniently has a classics section so you can easily find your favorite titles from the past!

Newgrounds

For the longest time Newgrounds was the front page of internet culture. It was here where budding animators and game developers would flock to show off their latest works. It is where so many of the classic internet memes were born. 

Newgrounds are still going strong to this day. While Reddit may have dethroned it as the culture hub of the internet, you can still find dedicated indie developers publishing amazing browser games for you to enjoy. 

Playwards

A recent addition to the browser gaming scene, playwards has a lot of browser games focusing primarily on newer titles like Endless Siege and Zombie Raft. The website is sleek and extremely focused. No messy menus to navigate. Every title on the site is categorized meaning you can easily find a game for your current mood. 

The website is regularly updated with new titles. Their upload schedule is consistent enough that you will always have something new to try.

Armor Games

The folks running Armor Games are some of the most dedicated I have ever seen. Not only is their website filled to the brim with a huge catalog of new and classic browser games. But they are constantly working on restoring old games that were lost when Adobe Flash officially shut down in 2020. 

They have even developed some of their own titles which are available on Steam. Some of the funds from sales of their games are sunk back into the maintenance cost of the website. Ensuring we can enjoy their gaming catalog for years to come.

Kongregate

One of the most popular modern browser gaming websites. Kongregate has a diverse catalog of games. Including some of the bigger titles like Animation Throwdown and League Of Angels: Pact.

Kongregate has a more broad selection of games than other browser websites. One minute you could be enjoying a nonsensical adventure game based around cute animals. Next you could be fighting demons in a futuristic cyberpunk world. Then you could follow all that up with a dress up simulator. 

Pogo

Pogo is the perfect website for anyone who loves classic arcade style games or anything made by Popcap or Hasbro . You will find a wealth of classic titles like Solitaire, Battleships. Scrabble, and so much more. All of the titles on here are family friendly too. Meaning you can let your child explore the website without fear of them finding anything too crazy. 

Cartoon Network

If you are a lover of anything Cartoon Network then you need to head to their website immediately. Here you will find a host of amazing games based on your favorite Cartoon Network shows. Teen Titans, Ben 10, We Baby Bears, and The Amazing World Of Gumball. A lot of the titles are specific to one show but there are also a huge variety of games that blend the most popular characters together.

For fans of all the classic shows you can still access all of the games from the early 2000’s. Including games based on Dexter’s Lab, Ed, Edd n Eddy, and the Power Puff Girls. You will have to try to install an older version of Adobe Flash to get these games to run. But it is entirely worth it.
