I would like to find an online game site that you do not have to download games to play. I don't mind joining if it doesn't cost anything. Any suggestions?
-
Kongregate.com is the one I use most often. It has some great flash games, and some multiplayer games (though, most have perks for those who pay). If you're looking for a MUD (most people aren't) 3k is awesome (3k.org).

If you're on Swagbucks, they have a lot of great games! And you can earn rewards, so it's two birds with one stone!

I like slingo alot. :thumbsup:

Whenever I used to play online games, Kongregate was the place I would go. They had a good variety of games and I liked their layout, but I haven't used the site in a while so it might have changed.

Nintendo8 has lots of old 8 bit Nintendo games you can play online.
-
I LOVE games.com and gsn games
-
Thank you to all who posted. I plan on checking out all the sites you suggested. Thanks again.

I'm sure you know this site but i highly suggest miniclip! It's one of my favorite gaming sites and has one of the highest internet traffic so playing multiplayer games are so much better.

vizzed.com has a "Retro Game Room" with old game console emulations. For when you don't want to pull out the old Nintendo or whatever to play your classic remembered games :P

For flash games, Kongregate or Armor games seem to have been the ones I've had the most fun with. If you remember (and are old enough) those old text-adventure games, there is an on-line version of Zork http://thcnet.net/error/index.php (http://thcnet.net/error/index.php)
And I know you mentioned that you didn't want to download anything, but both Home of the Underdogs http://www.hotud.org/ (http://www.hotud.org/) and Good Old Games http://www.gog.com/ (http://www.gog.com/) hosts some of the older games that are freeware or abandonware (software that is so old that the producers don't care about getting money from the game anymore, so people can play for free). Usually those vintage games are such small downloads that you can download and start playing within a few minutes.
There are also a bunch of free MMORPGs that don't require any downloads. The one that comes to mind is RuneScape. I really like how they set this up, where it is free to join and play, but you can also pay money to open up different areas to explore etc.
Finally there are a bunch of games on Facebook that are all free to play and don't require downloads. Farmville is probably the most famous of these. However if you do get involved with these games, I'd suggest creating a FB account specifically for this purpose, since your wall will get spammed from game ads as well as requests from your gaming buddies. Also, most of these games require (or at least make game-play easier by) you to request others to be be your partner in the game (which requires you to be friends with them in FB). Since a lot of these people you don't really know other than that they play games, you might not want them nosing about your regular FB page.

I've been looking for a good site to play solitaire games without downloading. I did a search, but the ones I found either don't have Freecell, or they don't have a user-friendly interface. We used to have solitaire games installed on the computer at work, so I could play during breaks, but now they gave us a new computer and it doesn't have any games on it.

I used to play on OMGPOP all the time. It's free and has some pretty fun/addicting games.
-
facebook has alot of games on their site and they are all free to play.

try pogo.com :icon_rr:

I play a few games on facebook. Some of them can get annoying when you need more friends to play, though.
-
try pogo.com :icon_rr:
This. The paid videos section has been promoting Pogo for a while now, so if you're not already a member that's a good one to join. I've been a member there for the longest time.

Oh yeah!
Pogo is awesome too!
I've had an account forever. And it's great because sometimes they'll send you a free 14 day club pogo trial, so you get to play the games that paid members play for free!

I don't many sites. I used to play games a lot more often. Right now, the site I frequent the most is OMGPop. It's free and you can play with other people or by yourself. They don't have a ton of games, but there are several I like to play. I used to play games on candystand, but haven't played there in a while. There's a site called wazzamba, where you can play games to earn "miles" that can be used to get discounts on things like hotels, flights, etc. I have never actually used mine for anything like that though, so I'm sure how well it works (or if it really does). They also do things like drawings where you can buy tickets to enter using miles (I think that's how it went) and they started doing this things where when you play a game sometimes at the end of the game you 'find' a gem, collect enough of a specific gem and you could trade for one of the next highest or trade them for miles, tickets, or coins (which give you a game boost, multiplying your miles earned from the game & increasing your chance of finding harder to get gems).

Freecell is one of pogo.com's free games. That's why I originally joined years ago but they did away with their jackpots and my husband likes it a lot more than I do so I pay for him. I don't have much patience with having to wait on ads in order to play free games.
