What do you recommend - I see loads of adverts but most of them look crap and scammy. Any good games I can get into that I can play on a basic pc or tablet? Ta my Testies.
Anyone play any web browser games?

I have not played a ton of games on my iPad but 2 that I have enjoyed are:
Kinda nice laid back puzzle games.

Papers Please played pretty well on iPad, haven't tried much else tbh. I played through Max Payne on an android tablet once, it was rough, same goes for GTA:SA.
I think there's openTTD (transport tycoon) for all platforms? At least it used to be available on iPad as well, pretty sure it's on Android, and it's free on Steam. Runs on anything made past 1994.
Wish I could find my old copy of RollerCoaster Tycoon, also runs on anything and drowning your guests in creative ways never gets old.
OpenCnC/OpenRA also exists and can possibly run on weaker machines if you are looking for some classic RTS gameplay.
Or there's always ZDoom for example with BrutalDoom mod, if you are more inclined to play something fast paced. It should run fairly well (works fine on my old 4th gen i5 laptop, no gpu)
SimCity 4. It's still a great time waster and should run on potato, it's among the couple of games I always keep installed on my craptops.
Beyond All Reason might run on a mediocre PC, not sure as it is fully 3D. It's a free successor to Total Annihilation.
For native mobile games, for years I used to play a car racing TCG called TopDrives. It was pretty good on the free-to-play side, watching ads was fully optional, loads of free solo content with meaningful progression, don't know how bad it got since I stopped. Just don't get addicted.
For purely web based, you could check out the flash games archive and there's a similar site for old DOS games where you can play in the browser, although I can't find it at the moment.

I used to play the hell out of browser games that used to run on Flash before it was retired.
Best one I ever played was called "Shellcore Command" were you took parts from the enemies you vanquished and built a unique ship which you made to suit your fighting style.
There was also a Japanese game called "What a fart!" where you had to sneak out guffs stood at a bus stop only pumping one out when a car went by or the other person at the bus stop would stare at you. Good fun! (EDIT) I've found footage of it on youtube, here you go:

Right now with HTML5 being able to run actual game programmes I'm playing Sonic The Hedgehog with my kiddo, they are not yet at the point where they can work a controller properly so I'm saving Sonic 2 for when they can get through Sonic 1.

Through the years, I've played numerous games through web browsers, though to be honest, most of them would tend to be favored by "those of culture". I'm not sure what sorts of browser based games you'd be interested in. Cheers!
I was thinking that, I played runescape on a browser in 2011, was fun enough and worked.
