Miniclip

Miniclip has games you can play online based on either Flash or Shockwave technology. You can create your own character to play the games with. Apart from gaming, they also offer cartoons and e-cards.

Miniclip was launched in 2000 by Robert Small. Today it is still privately owned and has about 50 million unique visitors per month.

Miniclip has one of the widest selections of games on the internet. They offer games in every category and also ones that relate to current events such as elections. One of their most popular games is the Club Penguin game intended for children.

Miniclip has a clean interface and playing a game usually requires a single click. For many games you need Adobe Shockwave installed on your computer. Their website is available in more than 10 languages.

Most games can be played without registration. But their most popular game, Club Penguin requires people to sign up. Because this game is meant for children they have strong parental controls. During sign up a parental email address is required and this address needs to be confirmed. On this address parents will receive periodic reports about their children's Club Penguin activities.

Miniclip is advertising supported. Their website has ads and they have sponsored games. The ads are nicely integrated with the rest of the site and do not distract from the gaming experience.

We can recommend Miniclip for almost everybody. As an adult, you can have a few minutes of mindless fun on their site and children will like the Club Penguin world. The only drawback could be the lack of interactivity for most flash games; there is little on offer concerning chat or multiplayer games.
