If you're an armchair participant in the game of paintball, here are some great games that may be of interest to you. Remember that it is simply a matter of taste and nothing else, but these are certainly on the most popular list. One of the best parts about computer or online gaming is that it's free. But remember, you'll certainly get a good workout playing with real paintball guns if that's what you want. Try a game called Paintball Scramble. You start out at the end of one field with just 10 shots. As you move towards your opponent and gain more of an advantage, you're given more paintballs. Of course, the more you move forward, the more challenging it gets. If you run out of paintballs, try to run past your enemy and get to the flag as soon as possible. That way, you may end up reaching the next level with upgraded paintball gear.

Another game called King of the Hill Paintball gives you 20 paintballs at a time, but you're only allowed five paintballs in your gun at one time, so it's even more of a challenge. As a player, you're always wearing goggles, and when you get hit with paintballs, it diminishes your field of vision. Three hits and you're out!

Or, how about William Shatner's Spplat Attack, which is a fun-flash-based game to master. Your eye is going to move faster than your paintball gun so your aim isn't where you hit. The farther away your target is, the more points you get for a hit, but it's also harder to do. You'll find that at any one time you'll have a half-dozen enemies gunning for you, so you'll have to duck as well as shoot. It's a speedball-type of game, and you get 200 balls for each level when you sustain hits. You get more paintballs or energy if you get certain targets. This is certainly of fun-filled game! If you're more of an armchair enthusiast than a weekend warrior, have some fun with these great games.
