The best free Flash games

It sounds like spammer advertisement, but it' s not. The Wall Street Journal reports on a new site called Games1.org that ranks the fest of these free browser-based Flash games:
The problem, though, is that such games have become so easy to create and distribute that the Web is flooded with them. Someone looking to waste a few moments online could spend as long surfing for a catchy game as playing one.

Matt Misbach, a software engineer from Utah who works for an online retail firm, was tired of sifting through the glut. His solution: Harness the votes of the army of evaluators at Digg.com and use them as a filter for a no-frills, one-stop game archive -- a best of the best.

The WSJ says games range from the poor man's version of Nintendo's Excitebike, Atari's Frogger, Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog and Super Mario Sunshine.

There is another site I blogged about on the Consumer Blog that has even more classic games for free play.

Turn us on to more in comments.
