Sports games nowadays all have one common theme - they try to emulate reality far too closely and seem to be afraid to try a more arcadey style. There aren't that many arcade games where you're flying cross court to slam dunk the opponent or utilizing super powers to smack a tennis ball right in their face. Flash games still stay in the arcade era, though, because they're so simple that they have to rely on gameplay. Yeti Sports is one of the main examples. Let's look at the first game, Yeti Sports: Pingu Throw.

To play Yeti Sports: Pingu Throw, just run it with whatever SWF player you have.

The first thing you'll probably notice are the graphics. Despite it being a Flash game, it has a pseudo-3D style, which sets it apart greatly from the rest of the pack. While it's not pretty, even for its time, it has an ugly charm to it.

Gameplay is as simple as it gets. A penguin will slide down to the yeti you're controlling, and you have to click at the right time to send it flying as far as possible. There's no other gameplay feature, and while it's fun to master this one mechanic, it doesn't change the fact that it's shallow.

Still, it's fairly charming. If you want to just waste a few minutes, then Yeti Sports: Pingu Throw is a great option.
