Step 1
Make sure you have an active Virus and Spyware Scanner. The online gaming world likes to trick unsuspecting people into downloading malware and viruses which can severely damage a computer. Sometimes these will be in the form of games or just plugins which run the games. Other times you will register for a game site and the virus will be in the confirmation e-mail.
-
Step 2
Plugins. Download the most recent versions of your flash, java and active-x plugins so that you will be able to play the games. If you do not have the most up to date copy, many online video games just will not run on your computer.

Step 3
Search for free arcade games online using your favorite search engine. There should be more results than you care to go through. Browse through as many as you like until you find one with games you like to play.
-
Step 4
Join the site. Most of the reputable sites for free arcade games online (and some of the non-reputable sites) will require you to register for the site prior to playing the games. Often there are communities where you can compete for points and enjoy other social networking features in addition to the online video game.

Step 5
Enjoy! Stick to one site so that you can bank as many points as possible. Many people become very addicted to these types of sites.
