Flash brain game 7: Chase the Rainbow
Chase the Rainbow is a colorful positional memory game. You can play on Kongregate or download the SWF.
To play, click the happy faces that "disappear." (they don't really disappear, they just become harder to see)
The game has 8 levels, each more difficult than the last, and correct answers make the game harder. Correctly clicking all of the given color adds 1 to that color's count, and a miss subtracts 1. The goal is to color the entire grid.

Flash brain game 4: Africa Repeat
Africa Repeat is a geography and memory game submitted to the Experimental Gameplay Project for the April REPEAT theme.
Speed, map recognition, and remembering how many times you've seen each nation (the repeats) are all vital to a high score. You can compete on Kongregate or download the SWF.
Two types of people play Africa Repeat:
1) Those who know Africa's map.
2) Those that don't.
Type 1 play a speed/memory game, in Africa.
Type 2 play a map game with an easy memory task, and learn Africa to become Type 1. (took me ~dozen plays over a few days; the memory task makes learning inevitable; and you learn to speed up, directly increasing the difficulty of the memory task)
It's a repetitious game with repetitive music that needs to played repeatedly to break through to its memory-challenging repeat-counting gameplay...but it may be useful if you want memories of Africa's map.
HOW TO PLAY
STEP 1: Name the nation, using the mouse, arrows, or WASD.
STEP 2: Count the times this nation has repeated.
# repeats? I've seen Morocco one time, so zero repeats.
STEP 3: Repeat until the game ends. (2.5 minutes)
That's definitely not Somalia.
Zero repeats, first time seeing not-Somalia.
Mauritius again.
1 repeat of the M-island.
Still not Congo.
STEP 4: Repeat to mastery.. (>2.5 minutes)
Scoring details
Answering STEP 2 (repeat counting) correctly increases your score by the current multiplier, from 0 to 54. Incorrect guesses eat points.

Flash brain game 2: train your ear
Clk Tone Seq works your memory of relative pitch. Each round you'll be prompted to click the notes from either high to low or low to high.
If it's crazy hard, try rehearsing the notes. The game has a difficulty cap of 10 due to screen space constraints. (and laziness) (haven't hit the cap yet)
