For over a decade now Flash has greatly empowered the content we interact with on the Web. Initially Flash was designed to create animations and eventually evolved to becoming a fully interactive platform. The bulk of video content on the Internet including YouTube and other video servers is all based on Flash, a format known as FLV or Flash Video. Oringinally developed by Macromedia, the Flash platform now belongs to Adobe, after it bought over the former’s business.

The slick animation ability, coupled with object-oriented programmability of the Flash platform has made it very appropriate for developing interactive games on the Internet. There are many commercial and free games available on the Internet, with genres ranging from Puzzles to Arcade and Board games.

Arcade Temple is an excellent site which hosts thousands of quality interactive Flash games across various genres. Users are free to browse and play any game on the site, with the option to download the game to their desktop as well. Users can also opt to register as members of the site for free which comes with several benefits including being able to participate in the monthly $100 prize competitions.

So the next time you have some free time on your hands, head over to Arcade Temple and immerse yourself in a world of online interactivity.
