Background on Flash Gaming Websites

Free flash gaming is a new internet fad. Many sites have popped up in recent years to offer free flash gaming. As flash developers make and release games they usually do so in a free or open source manner. As long as the file is not changed in any harmful way then the author generally likes to get his work published on several different websites. Some websites offer sponsorships to talented flash artists while others actually publish the games. Gamesopoly.com happens to be one of those publishing sites. We track and download the newest and hottest free flash games on the net even though we do not sponsor individual artists. The way we go about finding games is we have a pool of websites that offer free flash games to publish on individual stand alone sites. Usually weekly we will go to each website on the list, sample the games that they have released and then download the ones we feel are appropriate/good enough to be published. Keep in mind we do not alter any of the .swf files that we download (SWF stands for a flash file).

Currently in the online arcade industry there are several websites that make scripts (mostly PHP/MySQL) which will allow an end user to easily put a arcade website on the internet. Although we will not recommend any of them to you here is a list of currently widely used arcade scripts:

We will leave it up to you to decide which HIGHLY customized version we are running. Some sites do not use these though. Your probably familiar with eBaumsWorld.com and Miniclip.com. Those mega-beast websites generally have programmers that are absolute wizards with the PHP language. Also they have databasers that sit and analyze and optimize the running of their scripts and database functions. Unfortunatly the funding for projects like these can run into the tens of thousands, which unfortunately is not in Gamesopoly.com budget for this fiscal year.

Anyways we just wanted to throw out some general information on about 95% of the arcade websites you visit. A quick suggestion would be to bookmark us because if you love all the new games and do not want to search around for them yourself, you can bet your bottom dollar that we will have some free ones here ready for you to try (Check out the New Games on the homepage). Also if your current goalis to join the new internet revolution we suggest you get moving (a lot of new free flash sites popping up daily). Contact the admin through the Contact Us or send a PM to the name admin to get more information. What are you waiting for? Go get some more arcades up and spread the online arcade world. But do keep in mind, Gamesopoly.com is very very good competition in this free flash games world.
