online games?

[boxerdogboxerdog is verified member.]

i can find plenty of free online games to put on a site, but the game code that you have to embed is for the whole game and that takes up a lot of space on one page , im looking for just the game thumbnail that you click on and then play.

can anyone help me out with this?

cheers

Can you clarify a bit?

I am not sure, but I think your trying to put a thumbnail of a game, and link to that game on someone else's site?

yes thats right, say i wanted some games from "miniclip.com" they have the nice little thumbnails for the games that you click on then play the game
but when i insert the code onto my site it comes up with the whole game not the thumbnail

Right click the thumnail, click copy image location/url (if miniclip allows image hotlinking) then this is your code:

<a href="GAMEURL" title="play GAMENAME at Miniclip">
<img src="pastetheimagelocationinhere" alt="GAMENAME" />
</a>

GAMEURL = the address of the game
e.g: http://www.miniclip.com/games/bubble-town/en/

GAMENAME = Name of the game
e.g: Bubble Town

IMAGELOCATION = Paste the image url you copied earlier.
e.g: http://e.miniclip.com/images/icons/bubbletownsmallicon.jpg


For my examples, it would be:

<a href="http://www.miniclip.com/games/bubble-town/en/" title="play Bubble Town at Miniclip">
<img src="http://e.miniclip.com/images/icons/bubbletownsmallicon.jpg" alt="Bubble Town" />
</a>
