Over the years, online games have shown a tremendous growth in the society. Started off as a simple adventure game in the 1990s, online games are now developed into more high-tech and extremely more exciting forms. More and more people, especially the teenagers are getting hooked-up or have already been hooked up with various online games. The first ever form of online game introduced in the 1990s fell under the category of first-person shooter games which used a variety of LAN protocols. It was then followed by real-time strategy games which allowed multiple players to play over a local network or a modem. Later on, as the World Wide Web developed and internet browsers turned more sophisticated, web browser games were developed by several online games companies. The growth of graphic technologies like Flash and Java has even a paved way for more complex and more exciting online games.
