When you were a kid and you had a Nintendo you were the most popular person in school, because everyone flattered you to go to your house in the afternoon and play all the games you had, but the bad thing about the game cartridges is that if you only had 2 or 4 and could not play other games, as it was limited your catalog of video games.
Although in my case, I never had a Nintendo or a play and as you obviously know it was not popular, but I had the same problem of the limitation of video games and after a few hours of play, I got bored a lot sometimes because I only had 3 video games: Prince of Persia T2T, NFSMW, and San Andreas. And although they are great games that you can have hours of fun with, for me they got boring after playing them so much and since it was all the same thing all the time, I wasn't having fun.
But all that changed when they recommended me at school they started talking about a website called Friv.com that had dozens of very entertaining video games, when I got home I looked for it and although at first I was not convinced because there were only barbies and cooking games, I kept digging into the page and I realized that it has a lot of video games, of all genres, whether soccer, combat, baseball, puzzle, etc... A very varied catalog.
And with the games of this site, I had countless hours of fun, but as time went by and after my computer was damaged, I forgot the existence of this game site. But a few days ago while I was very bored of the play store games, I remembered this page and although I thought it had been closed I was impressed that they had improved it by making the games have a faster loading process and there are more games available, which are very fun if you want to play something different, of course, the video quality is not the best most are 2D games and with a child theme, but I will recommend some that are worth a try.
Air Dogs of WW2
The first game I will recommend to you is one about flight simulation and combat set in the second world war, your mission depending on the side you choose (allies or nazis) your goal is to bomb the enemy's base.
When I played it I kept crashing my plane against the ground because the controls are extremely sensitive and difficult to control, also the graphic engine doesn't help much because you don't know where to go, but other than that it's worth desperately trying to bomb the Nazi's base.
The Last Ninja 2
It is the second and the most addictive recommendation because when I was playing it to have a reference about the game when writing this publication, I had not realized that I had spent 2 hours playing.
The last Ninja 2 is based on a ninja warrior with his shuriken, your mission is to liquidate first the enemies that are in pillars at a certain distance from you, but you must calculate accurately to aim well to the head because too many misses prevent you from earning more coins that you can use to buy upgrades, either hat that gives you more life or better shurikens. It is an addictive game, but if you lose you must start from the first level again, I managed to reach only level 30.
Baseball
It is a classic that could not miss because if you have played MLB or Caribbean MVP this will seem very easy to play because it is the same theme, clear some team and you have 2 game modes as a batter and as a pitcher when batting you must do it at the right time according to the indication of the pitching room, and when a pitcher is to try to prevent players reach the bases and lose.
Soldier Legend 2
This is also one of those with which it is easy to get hooked, since the degree of difficulty is getting higher at each level. Your mission in this game is to stop the alien invasion and avoid dying in the attempt. You must also try to improve your weaponry to kill the enemies sooner but you also have other aids such as robots, mines and automatic machine guns that will relieve you of the great hordes of enemies.
Basket Champs
This game is special, as it was the first one I played on this page and as I dedicated many hours to it when I played it again it was very simple, what you must do is to choose a country and play in a qualifying round, in this first round you must try to be first and when it is finished you must play a knockout round to choose two players to a final, the difficulty you can find is that the basket moves while you try to shoot and you must guess the rest of the ball path. Also the more you advance the more accurate your opponents are, so if you miss too many baskets you will be quickly eliminated.
Super Archer
It is also a very entertaining game, it is like Mario bros but with a bow, your mission is to collect all the stars in the levels and destroy all the enemies. The difficult thing about this game is the sensitivity of the controls because when you jump or run you can go over a cliff, also the limited amount of arrows, so if you spend them you are vulnerable. And with each new level, there are many more enemies to destroy and it becomes more difficult to collect stars.
Funny Soccer
Finally, there is the most stressful game in the world, a soccer game but not like PES, funny soccer is a single player in the field and your goal is to score as many goals and avoid those of your opponent in the 45 seconds you have. The difficulty of this game is that the field is very small and when you hit the ball with your back it is automatically an own goal. Also, your opponent has no mercy and is very aggressive when playing, that's why it is so stressful to play it.
In conclusion, I know that friv.com is not steam or any other video game site with renowned titles. But these games fulfill their purpose of entertaining you for a good time and they are completely free and do not require great hardware capabilities. It's like having a Nintendo and remembering moments of nostalgia when it was 5 PM and you still hadn't done your homework but you were still playing some of these games that friv.com offers.

ESPAÑOL
Cuando eras niño y tenias un nintendo eras la persona mas popular de la escuela, ya que todos te adulaban para ir a tu casa en las tardes y jugar todos los juegos que tuvieras, pero lo malo de los cartuchos de juegos es que si solo tenias 2 o 4 y no podias jugar otros juegos, ya que era limitado tu catalogo de videojuegos.
Aunque en mi caso, nunca tuve un nintendo ni un play y como obiamente sabras no era popular, pero tenia el mismo problema de la limitacion de videojuegos y despues de algunas horas de juego me aburria mucho aveces porque solamente tenia 3 videojuegos: Prince of persia T2T, NFSMW y san andreas. Y aunque son juegos geniales con los que puedes tener horas de diversion, para mi se volvian aburridos despues de jugarlos tanto y como era todo el tiempo lo mismo, no me estaba divirtiendo.
Pero todo eso cambio cuando me recomendaron en la escuela empezaron a hablar de una pagina de juegos por internet llamada Friv.com que tenia decenas de videojuegos muy entretenidos, cuando yo llegue a casa la busque y aunque al principio no me convencia ya que solo habian juegos de barbies y cocina, segui indagando en la pagina y me di cuenta de que tiene una gran cantidad de videojuegos, de toos los generos, ya sea de futbol, combate, beisbol, puzzle, etc.. Todo un catalogo muy variado.
Y con los juegos de esta pagina tuve incontables horas de diversion, Pero con el pasar del tiempo y luego de que se dalara mi computadora, se me olvido la existencia de esta pagina de juegos. Pero hace unos dias mientras estaba muy aburrido de los juegos de la play store, recorde esta pagina y aunque pensaba que la habian cerrado me impresino que mas la habian mejorado haciendo que los juegos tengan un proceso de carga mas rapido y hay mas juegos disponibles, que son muy divertidos si quieres jugar algo distinto, claro la calidad de video no es la mejor, de hecho la mayoria son juegos en 2D y con una tematica infantil, pero te recomendare algunos que realmente valen la pena intentar.
Air Dogs of WW2
El primer juego que te recomendare es uno sobre simulacion de vuelo y combate ambientado en la segunda guerra mundial, tu mision dependiendo del bando que elijas (aliados o nazis) tu objetivo es bombardear la base del enemigo.
Cuando lo jugaba no dejaba de chocar mi avion contra el suelo, ya que los controles son extremadamente sensibles y dificil de controlar, ademas el motor grafico no ayuda mucho porque no sabes a donde ir, pero fuera de eso vale la pena desesperarse por intentar bombardear la base de los nazis.
The Last Ninja 2
Es la segunda y la mas adictiva recomendacion, ya que cuando estaba jugandolo para tener referencia sobre el juego al escribir esta publicacion, no me habia dado cuenta de que habian pasado 2 horas jugando.
The last Ninja 2 se basa en un gerrero ninja con su shuriken, tu mision es liquidar primero a tus enemigos que estan en pilares a cierta distancia de ti, pero debes calcular con exactitud para apuntar bien a la cabeza, ya que demaciados fallo evita que ganes mas monedas que te sirven para comprar mejoras, ya sea sombreros que te dan mas vida o mejores shurikens. Es un juego adictivo, pero si pierdes debes iniciar desde el primer nivel de nuevo, yo logre alcanzar solamente el nivel 30.
Baseball
Es un clasico que no podia faltar, ya que si has jugado MLB o MVP caribe esto te parecera muy facil de jugar ya que es la misma tematica, elegr algun equipo y tienes 2 modos de juego como bateador y como picher, al batear debes hacerlo en el momento adecuado segun la indicacion del cuaro de picheo, y al pichar es tratar de evitar que los jugadores llegen a las bases y perder.
Soldier Legend 2
Este tambien es uno de esos con lo que es facil quedarse enganchado, ya que el grado de dificultad se va haciendo mayor a cada nivel. Tu mision en este juego es detener la invasion alienigena y evitar morir en el intento. Ademas debes tratar de mejorar tu armamento para acabar con los enemigos mas pronto pero tambien cuentas con otras ayudas como robots, minas y ametralladoras automaticas que te aliviaran de las grandes hordas de enemigos.
Basket Champs
Este juego es especial, ya que fue el primero que jugue en esta pagina y como le dedique bastantes horas, cuando volvi a jugarlo era sumamente sencillo, lo que debes hacer es elegir un pais y jugar en una ronda clasificatora, en esta primera ronda debes tratar de quedar de primero y cuando haya terminado debes jugar una ronda eliminatoria para elegir a dos jugadores a una final, la dificultad que puedes encontrar es que la canasta se mueve mientras tratas de tirar y debes adivinar el resto del trayecto del balon. Ademas cuando mas avances tus oponentes son mas precisos, asi que si fallas muchas canastas quedaras rapidamente eliminado.
Super Archer
Tambien es un juego sumamente entretenido, es como mario bros pero con un arco, tu mision es recolectar todas las estrellas de los niveles y destruir a todos los enemigos. Lo dificil de este juego es la sensibilidad de los controles, ya que cuando saltas o corres puedes irte por un precipicio, tambien la cantidad limitada de flechas, asi que si las gastas eres vulnerable. Y con cada nuevo nivel hay mucho mas enemigos que destrir y mas dificil se vuelve recolectar las estrellas.
Funny Soccer
Por ultimo esta el juego mas estresante del mundo, un juego de futbol pero no como el PES, funny soccer es de un solo jugador en la canha y tu bjetivo es anotar la mayor cantidad de goles y evitar los de tu rival en los 45 segundos que dispones. La dificultad de este juego radica en que es muy pequeño el terreno de juego y cuando golpeas la pelota con tu espalda es automaticamente un autogol. Tambien que tu oponente no tiene nada de piedad y es muy agresivo al jugar, por eso es tan estresante jugarlo.
En conclucion, se que friv.com no es steam ni alguna otra pagina de videojuegos con titulos de renombre. Pero estos juegos cumplen su proposito de entretenerte por un buen rato y son completamente gratuitos y no rquiere de grandes capacidades de hardware. Es como tener un nintendo y recordar momentos de nostalgia cuando eran las 5PM y aun no habias hecho la tarea pero seguias jugando alguno de todos estos juegos que friv.com ofrece.
