How to Play Flash Games
A Flash game is a plug-in based video game created using Adobe Flash software (formerly Macromedia Flash) that is played online. It is different from other online games in that if you do not already have the plug-in, Flash, installed, it prompts you to download and install it before being able to play the game.
