Online games

Hello my son just got the new iPad 3 for his birthday as a gift and I am totally foreign to this. He is basically interested in playing online games along the lines of Mario brothers or sonic. I see that apple does not support adobe flash drive. Is there another program that could be installed because I see almost every game site I've checked for him can not be played? He's so disappointed that he can't play any of his favorite games. Can you also retun these they may be my only option? Ps I've viewed the app store and they don't have that big of a selection of what he's looking for.

Thank you

iPad 2

Adobe never managed to get a version of flash player that works on iOS and they've now stopped development on all mobile versions of it.

Browser apps such as iSwifter, Puffin and Photon say that they 'work' with (some) flash-based games, whether they will work on the sites/games that you want to use I don't know.

If those kinds of browser apps don't support a specific site, another option is to use an app like Splashtop HD which will connect to a PC or Mac and allow you to browse flash websites on your iPad as if you were sitting at that PC or Mac. This requires software to be installed on that PC or Mac.

There are also a lot of games in the App Store that you could have a look at.
