Games are divided in the '''Gameroom''' and into three categories: puzzles, action and luck. With the exception of action games, which all require [[Wikipedia:Adobe Flash|Adobe (formally Macromedia) Flash]] or [[Wikipedia:Adobe_Shockwave|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.

The '''Games Room''' is a section of the [[Neopets|Neopets website]] where users can find and play Neopets themed [[Wikipedia:Browser game|browser games]]. While a few older games are simply implemented in [[Wikipedia:HTML|HTML]], most games in the Games Room require the user to have [[Wikipedia:Adobe Flash|Flash]] installed on their computer. There are also a handful of games that require [[Wikipedia:Adobe_Shockwave|Shockwave]] and [[Wikipedia:3dvia|3DVIA Player]].
==Flash==
Most of the games within Neopets are created with [[Wikipedia: Macromedia Flash|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 Game]]s, 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 Talisman|Lutari beads]] or the [[Premium#Referral system|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]].
