How to Play Games Online That Don't Require Java

You can play games on your computer without using Java.

Java is an Internet-based application tool that allows some videos, games and text to appear properly on your computer screen. Although the application is used by many online games, you don't need it for all. So, if you find a game online that doesn't require Java there is no need for the application to be installed on the computer to run that particular game.

Instructions

1. Open your Internet browser and navigate to the online game you want to play that doesn't require Java.

2. Click the download link for the required Internet application. More than likely you need to install Flash or Shockwave (both Internet-based applications) to run the game. Wait a moment for the file to download to your computer. The installation wizard loads onto the screen once the content has finished downloading.

3. Close out your Internet browser, as it is unable to update while open. Accept the end-user agreement, then follow the prompts to install the Internet application.

4. Open the Internet browser and head back to your online game. Click "Play" and the video game will load onto your screen.
