Games on internet

Hi there,

I just wondered if I could tap some peoples knowledge if I could.

I want to download a Super Mario game to my laptop preferably with the Yoshi in it, however when I have done this of a free site it made my internet windows go tiny and I needed a system restore to rectify the problem.

I don't mind paying a small bit for it. I just don't want a virus, spam, spy ware etc when I download it.

If anyone could suggest I site I would be most grateful.

BTW the game is for my son :D not me!

    I would suggest playing them on Java embedded games :)

    Mario is an old classic and I would imagine there are Java versions around meaning no download :)

    That is great, I have just had a go (only to test obviously) and it is great!!

    No problem :)

    That game you see there is written in a programming language called Java.

    Notice how you can play it on the site. You don't have to download anything. Thats because it is "embedded" into the website as in coded in.

    Hope that explains it :)
