I find that the best way is to install wine-doors (/usr/ports/emulators/wine-doors) and run Firefox 2.0 and install flash in that. I can play bloons tower defense 2 semi-comfortably in it, granted the machine has a moderate amount of power. According to Adobe, FreeBSD isn't "cool" enough (actually just not enough requests, which if you look at the forums is quite a lie) So we are forced to use a linux hack. -=Tom Donnelly
