Internet Games

Internet games are games that are played online via the Internet. They are different from video and computer games in that they are normally platform independent, relying solely on client-side technologies (normally called 'plugins'). All that is required to play Internet games are a web browser and the appropriate plugin (normally available for free via the plugin maker's website).

There are many different plugins used to play online games. Some of these are Java, Shockwave, Flash and others. Games that require plugins are usually based on the client-side; that is, much of the processing is done by the player's computer instead of the server hosting the game.
