there are many fun but simple flash games on the BBC website for kids:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/games/?category=allgames

it's best to find the URL using your desktop; install adblock extension to firefox, then click the "block" tab at the edge of the game, take a note of the URL of the .swf, cancel the block, and then you can open that URL on the tablet in the web browser - I emailed my mobile address with the link, tapped on it in the email message and the browser opened and loaded the game!

I found that I needed to use full screen and a level of zoom to make it work properly. The more complex games got very slow

Here's a fun Flash game called Splash Back:

not quite a game... choose the online showroom at

not necessarily entirely safe for the workplace.

Hello, I am a basic user. Have an n800 was going to replace
my palm zodiac but still have that. I believe this is my second
post here. I will try to follow the planed layout for flash
sites.

To get to the point. Here are a few good sites that I have found
with many great games, most work at good speeds and use
mouse input.

http://www.freshnewgames.com/
Nice site, lots of games fit the screen just right,
mouse input on most games.

http://www.onlineflashgames.org/
another good site that fits the screen well,
with mouse input on most games.

http://www.smashingames.com/
have not tested many games here,
some work good and other don't
mixed bag, but worth a look.

If you're a game show junkie, GSN.com is the way to go.

Here are some that are worth noting:
Chain Reaction
That's the Question
Camouflage
Word Mojo
Ultimate Word Challenge
Grand Slam
Daily Word Search

Now there's a link that says SHARE and from there you can choose to EMBED THE GAME.

I'm not too good with knowing what to do with the command it gives such as this:
<embed src="http://www.gsn.com/minigames/swfs/gsn_wrapper.swf?gameID=30" scale="noscale" salign="lt" width="600" height="450" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"/>

Could someone that knows something perhaps make a few links to these so we don't have to rifle through the Game Show Network site and be shoveled with advertisements from hell just to play them?

I think I figured out how to do just one, but it doesn't have the scale feature like the code noted above.

Here it is:
Chain Reaction
http://www.gsn.com/minigames/swfs/chainreaction.swf

I think for most of these that you need to be online, I don't think they work too well offline.

Oh and here's another one I found even though it plays just a little chunky:

Solingo

I like these so much that I probably will make a special, bottom screen Xkbd keyboard to play them.

Well, if any of you have a brain and feeling a little generous, please post a response.

Thanks.

There is a duplicate thread on this, see the "frogger" post in software/gaming. As an old flash extractor pro, I've learned that the "page info" technique described by bartsimpson is the best place to start but it does not always work. You can see many media elements like the swf player, header etc. but often not the game (or video file) itself. I just posted a long but easy to follow method to the "frogger" thread (before coming across this thread) that will let you use Firefox to extract any swf file (or any flv video file for that matter). I've rarely encountered a file I couldn't retrieve using this method.The thread is at:

Maybe some nice administrator can tie these threads together, this stuff merits a sticky in Games!

I just don t get why castle war http://www.gamesforwork.com/games/pl...lash_Game.html is so damn slow in my n800, it's a small game...
Can anyone try it?

I don't know if you have played the powder game on the dan ball website, but would it be possible to hack it up and get it on an IT? that would be really cool. I just want to be able to get my powder game fix on the go! problem is that it is java.

Hey, has anyone heard about Adobe Air for Linux? It allows Flash and JavaScript to seemlessly integrate with the desktop of Linux, MacOS and Windows. But, now that an alpha version has hit Linux what it if made it to the NIT's?

It would certainly open the door for more applications to run on the NIT.
