available are written in Java, Shockwave, and Flash. As a result,
they offer more basic game play than downloadable games.

gaming. Whether it’s a PC or a gaming system like an Xbox or
Play Station that’s connected to the internet, the proper
hardware will also be needed. However, gaming technology has
