Well from AG we can download the SWF file of the games listed in the Free Website Games. And I want to know how to play them after you unzip them and all.

You simply need a program or your good old Flash Player to play games offline. Make sure the Flash Player is installed in your computer (not only your browser) and that you have associated the .swf extension with the Flash Player.

He is talking about the games available on this site.

A video conversion program doesn't do anything for games.

well first thing I have to ask is:

did you make sure to extract the file after you unzipped it?

If you didn't then when you click the file it will practically do nothing, unless you extract it and play it from the place you told the zip program to extract it to. Make sure that is done, along with making sure you have the latest version of flash player, and if that is not enough then try the things in that link, and if that doesn't work send a message to my profile, and I will try to figure out what could be going on.

Unzipping it basically means to extract.

Do I just go to the flash player website like Shockwave or something? If you can can you provide a link?

hmm OK I thought you just meant opening it up to look at all the files, but not put them in a particular folder on your computer yet. Well anyways if you need to find something try googling it first, as the first thing that comes up from typing Adobe Flash Player is the download for it. So anyways here is a link to the place where you can get the latest version.

Adobe Flash Player Download

I think, except for downing some player, here's another way, you might need some video converters, such as this free swf video converter to convert the format and then play it on the computer...
