Stairway to Heaven is a single player flash game. You're objective is to get your ninja as high as you can by jumping up onto the next level. If you miss and fall of the screen, you lose a life. As you go up, records are falling down. Shoot them down (you really need to lead your shots in order to hit anything in this game) to score. If a death's head comes after you, you can't shoot it, but you can perform a spin attack when it gets too close. If it hits you, you will lose a life. As you climb, make sure you get the four golden records as they appear. Unlike the other records, these are stationary and are in hard to reach spots.
The weird part of this game is the lack of your ninja's ability to go side to side. You can jump up (up arrow key), perform a spin attack (down arrow key), and shoot an electric bundle at the falling records (left mouse). But you can't move left or right, making this seemingly simple game harder than it first appears. It is, however, a kids game, so don't expect to be too challenged.

Everybody Golfs has puts you on a 9 hole course with someone (if you're a gamer) you might recognize. Otherwise, it's a basic online flash golfing game. Click and hold the left mouse button on the ball and then 'pull back' with your mouse to set the power and trajectory for your shot.
I had three hole-in-ones on the first three holes, but then it got more difficult with the addition of trees (you can't go under), sandtraps, and water holes. Expect the ball to 'roll' at the end of your shot. I found myself thinking the screen had frozen, but the ball was still going.

Miniclip has brought out a new flash game, David -- Dawn of a King. But first, you must work your way up. You start out as David did, hunting down lost sheep. The adventure will continue from there.
The controls are easy to work with. Use the arrow keys to move, space bar to hit/kick and return to switch your weapons. Mind, you won't get your weapons until later in the game. A nice feature is the autoduck when you approach an overhang that you can't walk under, David will automatically duck down so he can fit.
Some of the noises are annoying (What is that beeping)? But as you would expect from a Miniclip game, the graphics are good. Also there are many levels to explore and enjoy, so get out there and become a king.

Pop Pirates pits you against the viruses that are attacking your computer. With upgrades like firewall and killer-watt, you quickly get the idea behind this kid's game. Your computer is under attack, with viruses stealing your downloaded music. Your job is take out these viruses, and rescue your music (it seems like it's one note at a time).
Like so many other scrolling games, you fly by moving your mouse in the direction you want. I prefer to auto-fire (hold the left mouse button down) and blast away at the bad guys.
Tips: Once you get a homing missile, you can even tell where the next bad guy is going to come from even if you can't hit it yet.

Use your PoppaZoppa to stomp on buildings in an effort to collect your missing eggs. This is a multiplayer game where you compete against another player to stomp on buildings in order to build the biggest chain.
Tips: Collect the reactor parts for a mega stomp. Don't let the timer run out before you clear the board. The bigger the chain, the bigger the points, plus a chance to earn a jackpot spin.
As with all games at ClubPogo, the game is only half the fun. There's a real sense of community here and there's a chance to win cash and prizes using tokens you pick up in the games.

Mouse Wars is a fly and shoot game. Your ship is the unique part of this game. Your ship is your cursor. No need to keep hitting the mouse button to shoot either. Simply move your mouse in front of your enemies as the your cursor has continuous fire. Sure, the graphics are simple, but who needs complexity?
Make sure to collect all the bonuses, but more important is to collect the health boxes that come along. This game is all about your high score, so try to kill as many enemies as you can.

I first saw this game at GEG. Get your cow to the goal to complete each level. Some levels are harder than others, but some are so easy to be funny.
Place an arrow to guide the cows where you want to. You may need to get a key to open a door, or you may need to move a hay bale, or you may need one cow to move another.
My strategy is to test as I go along. I place some arrows and see what happens. There's no penalty for trying, so hit the 'run' button and get the cows moving faster. Also, red arrows will disappear after a cow passes over it, but blue arrows stay.
If you happen to understand German (I think it's German?), the directions for each level may be interesting/helpful. Unfortunately, I can't read them. That didn't stop me from enjoying this game. Click on the cows in the bottom right to get your level code (if you want to come back and play later).
Play the flash game: German Cow Game (I'm not even sure what the real name is!).

Can you help Tom trap Jerry in this puzzle game? Build a better mouse trap on the blue print and you will see. Place each part of the trap in the right spot, but make sure each piece fits. Otherwise, Tom will blow his top.
That's right, it's Tom and Jerry in a game you always thought you could do better than Tom could.

Quick Quack is a shooting gallery of ducks. You want to shoot the ducks in order of number and color to get the longest streak you can. The longer you can go, the bigger the prizes in tokens and bonus ducks.
Tip: The wild ducks can really help you out of a tight spot. As with all clubpogo games, the game itself is only half of the fun. There's a real community there. And you can use your tokens to win cash and prizes.
Quick Quack is a game from clubpogo.
