There are dozens of websites to play online Flash games, but wouldn’t it be nice to be able to play them when you have no Internet connection available? In fact, it’s easier than it seems. Just follow these simple steps and you’ll be able to download Flash games to your hard drive and play them offline in no time.

1. First of all, open the web page where the game you want to download is stored. Copy the URL to the clipboard, and then open a new tab to browse to File2HD.com.

2. File2HD.com extracts all the files you see on a web page. Paste the address in the URL field, tick agreement checkbox and filter the contents by Objects. The page will display a list of all available files, from which you have to identify the SWF that corresponds to the game. Right click on it and save it to your hard drive.

3. Now that you have the SWF on your computer, it’s time to turn it into a playable file. Download and install FlashOffliner. When you run the program, click on the system tray icon and select Create new FlashOffliner package.
