The modern game industry releases about a hundred new applications every week. At the same time, most of the products are online games and interactive programs for mobile devices. Today we will talk about what the online applications are better than client applications, and we will try to determine their main features.
      As you might have guessed by simply looking at the title, online games require the presence of a browser in your operating system, as well as connection to the Internet. As a rule, in the case of online games, the system requirements of computers and other devices are not taken into consideration, since these applications are not too “gluttonous”. They can be played on a laptop, on a tablet, or on a smartphone.
       What do you need for online games? To run such an application, you just need to open the browser and find the right site, where flash games are presented, as well as other applications for launching in an online format. As you can see, from the moment of starting the computer to the beginning of the game, no more than 2-3 minutes pass. In addition, simple online games do not require the user to install additional files and download files.
      As we see, the first advantage of online applications over client ones, that is, those that require the installation of a “client”, is their availability. You can run a familiar or new online game anywhere and anytime – at home, in the office, on public transport, during lunchtime, using a laptop, tablet PC, PC or even a mobile phone.
      The assortment of similar games is also very large, and it is the second plus. Along with children’s and arcade online games, you can also play for free, elementary shooters, strategies and even simulators. A special place in the categories of browser games is occupied by logical applications and quests.
      If you think that online applications are always designed for one player, then you are mistaken. Many browser games are represented by large multi-user projects, where hundreds and even thousands of people can play simultaneously. At the same time most of the browser games remain free of charge or work at the expense of voluntary donations.
     Where can I find online games? As a rule, they are collected on official or thematic portals, where they are sorted by categories of genres.
