The two most recommended browsers are Internet Explorer and Firefox. Though other web browsers such as Chrome, Netscape, and Opera are supported. Both IE and Netscape should be version 4.0 or later. It's also recommended that you use an 800x600 screen resolution or higher and 16 bit color or better when visiting this site.

I use WebTV. Can I play the games here?
Some of them. Specifically, only the ones under the Javascript games category. All the other games are Java based. And to date, the developers of WebTV have not provided support for Java applets.
What is the difference between Java and Javascript?
The Java programs here are applets (mini-applications) which run in their own window.
Javascript is a simpler scripting language which does not run in it's own window. The javascript code is instead imbedded within the web page itself and interpreted by the web browser you use to explore the world wide web.

Game looks like it's running but still won't respond:If you find a game isn't responding to key presses, click your mouse cursor inside the game window. This should redirect your browser's focus to the game itself.
Keep in mind these games take time to download. Most won't start immediately. However they'll generally load faster with later visits once stored in your browser's cache file(s).
