The remainder of the games are played through basic HTML/PHP programming. Popular examples of these types of games are [[Pyramids]], [[Round Table Poker]], [[Cellblock]] and [[NeoQuest]].
 
These types of games are an alternative to users who are incapable of playing flash games because of computer limitations.
 
While most of the games have specific limits to how much NP can be gained per day, there are a few games which are exempt from the rule, such as [[Guess the Card]], [[Word Poker]] and [[Neopoker]].

The main way Neopoints are rewarded to players in Neopets: by playing games.

Games are divided in the Gameroom and into three categories: puzzles, action and luck. With the exception of action games, which all require Adobe (formally Macromedia) Flash or Shockwave to play, each of these categories also has some HTML based games which can be played on machines that may be unable to play more processor-intensive games. Many of the newer games, sadly, are made in Flash or Shockwave and these require a one-time download to play. These games also tend to take a long time to download, particularly on computers with a dial-up modem, and tend to run slowly on older computers, often leading to a less enjoyable experience for people on older computers. On the other hand, computers with broadband and modern processor chips experience the benefit of better graphics, as well as embedded sound in the game.

Flash

Most of the games within Neopets are created with Flash, an animation and creation tool.

All flash games have a 1,000 NP limit per game play, and can be won 3 times per day. Not all games can reach this 1,000 NP limit, such as Usuki Frenzy and Sponsor Games, due to the low points to NP ratio. This 1,000 NP limit can be surpassed by the daily Featured Game, in which a non-sponsored flash game rewards double the NP to a maximum of 2,000 NP. The neopoints received from games can also be doubled by having Lutari beads or the Space Faerie lucky charm.

Some flash games require use of the mouse to play, either as a secondary controller our through complete gameplay. Mouse-controlled games include: Crisis Courier, Kiko Match II, Meepit Juice Break, Shenkuu Warrior. Some games give the player the option to use either the mouse or the keyboard to control it, such as Feed Florg.

Trivia

  • On March 29, 2007, The Neopets Team updated users high scores ranks to be more accurate when compared to the rest of the gaming community. They also began to edit the NP ratio on a daily basis, based on how much NP a certain game would be giving out.
  • On February 26, 2003, The Neopets Team stated that the high scores would be reset on the first of every month. Before this, they were only reset when they were scores attained while cheating in the games.
  • The Top Gamer avatar can only be acquired when 250 different high scores are tallied for games. As there are fewer than 250 official Neopets games, playing sponsor games are the only way to gain this avatar.
