Play Android Games on Your Laptop or Desktop


Many people are becoming addicted to certain Android applications, like Temple Run, 4 Pics 1 Word, Icon Mania, and some other cool game applications that are available on the Android operating system. But not all people who want to play these games have an Android device. Even if they do, they may prefer to play on a desktop computer or a Laptop. To do that, you need to use and install an Android emulator. This emulator will serve as an Android device on your Windows PC or Mac. It will let you run and play so many cool Android applications.

There are many Android emulators out there, but a couple of the better ones you should try are BlueStacks or YouWave. BlueStacks is free, but it requires good computer specs. YouWave is free for 10 days, and requires a little lower specs requirements.

Downloading and Using BlueStacks

Download BlueStacks here:
http://www.bluestacks.com/

2
Install BlueStacks and reboot your device.
3
Open BlueStacks and look on the upper right part of BlueStacks and you will see the search function.
Just search for the application that you want and click on install.
4
Wait for the application to be installed, then open the game and enjoy.

Installing YouWave

YouWave. YouWave is similar in function and installation to BlueStacks. However, It does not offer a free limited version of the software. Install the application and search the YouWave store for apps.

Other Alternatives

1
The Android Software Development Kit.
Google's Android SDK is open-source, free, and comes with a device emulator. The emulator features hot-keys and advanced keyboard configurations to emulate mobile device technologies. Setting up the SDK may be complicated, depending on your experience with integrated development environments, and accessing the Android Market from the emulator is not intuitive, but the features available through the SDK are very useful for understanding how the Android OS works. With study you may even learn how to code your own Android apps with the SDK. Exciting!
2
Android-x86.
This open source project brings Android applications to the x86 processing platform. It does not support the Android Market initially, but third-party applications can be installed by editing the application and unknown sources configurations. This application supports many Android apps but some, such as Instagram, are incompatible.

Tips Tricks & Warnings
BlueStacks requires 2GB of RAM, .NET Framework 3.5 or higher, and an updated video graphics driver.
If you cannot search for the application or are having trouble installing it, it still may work the next time you try.
If you are still having a problem installing it, then you can try to search online for the APK installer of the application that you want. Go to Google and use this keyword: "temple run 2 .apk"," for example, or search for whatever app you are interested in, in place of "temple run 2." You can then download the .apk installer and double click on the file. It will be installed on BlueStacks. Open BlueStacks and then go to "My Apps" and look for the application.
