Flash games are video games that are designed to be played from within almost any Internet browser software. The key to their success is the use of the Adobe Macromedia Flash plugin. The Macromedia Flash plugin is designed to deliver Flash content to a computer using minimal bandwidth. This allows game developers to give users a full gaming experience even on slower Internet connections such as dial-up.

Flash content generally takes less space and can be delivered as separate units (video, audio) and recombined within the Flash player installed on the user's computer.SitePoint: Online Games Development in Flash... -
