Do you like to play flash games online? Have you ever wondered if there is a
way to download those flash games to your computer and play them on your desktop
without seeing distracting ads ?
Here we’ll show you how to do just that. First how to download flash games to
your PC and then how to play them offline. So if you’re hooked on some
addictive flash game this guide should help you get it offline and play it
on your desktop.
1. Download Flash Games
Downloading flash games to your PC is a fairly easy process and there are
lots of ways to do it. One way to get the game file is to look inside the page’s
source code and find the direct link to the game file on the site. Another
option is to wait for the game to load in your browser and later get it from the
temporary files folder of your browser. Or you can just go to the site called
File2HD and let it get the game file for you. We have already featured it
earlier as a
MP3 and video download tool for Myspace.
File2HD can help you download flash games from most of the online gaming
sites. That being said, it doesn’t work with
Kongregate, one of the best sites for Flash games. Althou I had no problems
getting flash games from hugely popular sites like
AddictiveGames.
So how does it work:
1. Go to the page with the flash game you want to download.
2. Copy the page URL and paste it into
File2HD.
3. Set ‘Filter’ to ‘Objects’ option and click on ‘Get Files’ button.
4. Next, File2HD should retrieve the direct link to the game file.

5. Right click on the link an use ‘Save Link As’ option to save the game to
your computer.
2. Play Flash Games Offline
Once you have the game files on your system you can use a simple freeware
program called
FlashOffliner (Windows only) to take those raw .swf flash files, turn them
into playable games, and neatly organize them under one menu.
Here are the steps you need to do:
1. Download and Install FlashOffliner.

The FlashOffliner setup comes with 2 games by default and 3 more that can be
added later. If you want to install them as well then check step 4.
2. Once you have FlashOffliner up and running, you should see a new icon in
the taskbar. Right click on the icon to see the list of available games and
program options.

3. It takes two steps to add a downloaded flash game to your FlashOffliner
games list. The first thing you need to do is click on the ‘Create New Flash
Offliner Package’ and then point it to the downloaded file. Then you will be
asked to name your new game and for a couple of more optional details. At the
end it should create game_name.fop file for you.
4. Again right click on the FlashOffliner icon and this time select the
‘Install FlashOffliner Option’. Point the app to the newly created game_name.fop
file to “install” the game.
5. This will install the game and add it to your FlashOffliner games. See
screenshot below.

That’s about it, now you can simply click on the game of your choice and play
it offline right on your desktop. By default the game window size is set to
800×600 but you can easily resize it to 400×300, 640×480, 1024×768 or Full
Screen mode.
