If you’re reading this blog then we already know you love car games and one of the questions we constantly get from readers is about downloadable car games that can be saved to their computer or laptop. As far as we know there aren’t very many free car games that can be downloaded to your computer but the good news is that you can save the flash games locally on your computer so that you can play them when you don’t have an internet connection.
Just in case we went over anyone’s heads, flash is the platform that is used by 99% of games. Normally these games can only be played in your browser and is “streamed” through the web server, to avoid people from downloading it. The good news is that many of the newer web browsers have plugins that allow you to download and save flash files locally on your hard drive so that you can play the games from wherever you are, even if you don’t have an internet connection.
The most popular plugin for doing this is called flashget and luckily it’s 100% free to use. All you need to do is add the plugin and then visit the page of your favorite car game. Then just right click on the page and save the flash contents of the page and whenever you want to play the game just open up the file in your browser and before you know it you’re playing your favorite game! Many of the newer and more popular games from the actual game studios are also becoming available on the android and iphone/ipad platforms either for a small fee or available for free if you don’t mind a little bit of banner or video advertising inside the game.
