Download Games for Mobile
Downloading games for your mobile device can be an easy or challenging task depending upon where you are installing the game from. While you easily can download many games to your mobile device through a central application store (also known as an "App Store" or "Market" depending on your mobile device), you also can install games from your personal computer or (on some mobile devices) through your mobile browser itself (the latter of which may require multiple attempts).
Instructions
Downloading Games From a Mobile App Store
1. Create a user account either on the mobile device or on a computer that will allow you to download premium and free games (please see your manufacturer's manual on do this).
2. Check your manufacture's manual to see whether you need to download an application store like "App World" (some mobile devices do not have an application store preinstalled).
3. Locate on your mobile device the application store icon, which should appear as either "App Store," "Market," "App World, or "App Catalog" on your mobile device. Select (or tap if you have a touchscreen mobile device) the application store to open it.
4. Open the games directory either by tapping or selecting the "Games" section (which will be visible on some mobile devices). If you do not see a games section listed, then select or tap the "Categories" button on the menu bar (which will be located either on the top or the bottom of the screen) and select or tap the "Games" button to view the games section.
5. Select or tap the game you desire to download on your mobile device or (on some mobile devices) tap the subcategory of games, then tap to view more information about the mobile game. Depending on your mobile device, either tap the small price button at the top of the screen (which also might be labeled "Free") or select the "Download," "Purchase," "Buy," "Install" or "Download for free" button (which may appear as "Download for price") on the screen.
6. Enter your user name and password when prompted on the screen. Depending on the mobile device, you may be asked to confirm the download or a pop-up may appear with a rating system or disclaimer. After reading the pop-up (there could be more than one depending on your mobile device), simply select or tap the "OK" button to download your game.
Downloading Games Through a Computer
7. Download the appropriate software to your computer and follow the installation instructions that the program prompts you on the computer screen.
8. Locate and click the "Store" button within the program.
9. Click and hold the "App Store" button (located near the top of the computer screen) until a menu category appears. Navigate your mouse cursor toward the "Games" category.
10. Click the game you want to download on your mobile device. On either the left or right side of the screen, locate the "Buy App" or "Free App" button and click it.
11. Enter your user name and password (if your computer prompts you to) to install the game on your computer.
12. Connect the USB cord to your mobile device. Insert the other end of the USB cord to the appropriate USB slot in the computer.
13. Your computer will establish a connection with the mobile device and will install the game on your mobile device.
Downloading Games Online to Your Mobile Device
14. Visit "Settings" on your mobile device to authorize it to download games not listed within the application store. If your mobile device does not require this, skip to Step 3.
15. Select or tap the "Applications" option, then tap or select the "Unknown sources" option. A pop-up will appear asking you to accept the terms and conditions of installing apps outside of the application directory. Select or tap the "OK" button.
16. Locate the appropriate website on your mobile device. Find the HTML link to which the game is located and tap or select the link to download the game.
