Kongregate, one of the most popular destinations on the web for good Flash games, is bringing some of its titles to Google's Android. The mobile-friendly version of the site features with games out of the nearly-30,000 in Kongregate's library, but they've selected games that will translate well to a mobile environment. This will be a good test of whether Flash is going to shake up the mobile world ...

These aren't clones, these aren't even 'loving interpretations' -- these are the real thing, remade by Atari themselves. This comes as part of a re-launch for the Atari website which ...

It won't win any beauty contests, and it has a pretty weak storyline unless you have a magnificent imagination, but Lunar Lander may well be one of the oldest time-wasters in existence. High-school student Jim Storer, obsessed with the Apollo missions -- and obviously inspired by what he'd witnessed along with the rest of the world, 40 years ago today -- took his inspiration to class in the fall ...

Using an interesting blend of real-world video and cartoon-enemy overlays, ToonCrisis is a fun Flash shooter with an original soundtrack of punk-ish/ska songs to keep you motivated. The objective is simply to kill the monsters by aiming your laser-shooting hand (which is, of course, in the shape of a gun) at them and clicking the left mouse button.

The Tiny Drum Machine (now in its fifth version) is a music maker where you control the notes that are played as well as the tempo of your piece. Use the simple grid to pick notes to be played and drag the bar below to set the speed. The song endlessly loops, but if you are clever you can mingle the ...

Ok, Zip Bear Town isn't revolutionary. It's essentially just Mahjong with ultra-cute tiles and great Japanese sound effects but, that doesn't stop it from being so damned loveable. The object of the game is just like a simplified Mahjong; match tiles to make them go away. The timer resets every time you make a match, and there is absolutely zero chance of pausing (until you beat a level) so, ...

As the the levels progress you have to fight ...
