Maybe if you give us a link to one of the games that won't run, we can test it, and see if we have the same experience. At that point we may be able to give some more specific advice.
Have you attempted to install flash from the ubuntu repo instead of using adobe's package?

If adobe thinks it's working and your games are still not working, maybe try to reinstall using the Ubuntu multiverse repo. Like I said earlier, there might be an extra step that Ubuntu needs for setup that installing it from their repos will solve.

You might also consider checking what plugins you have installed, and seeing if any of them are interfering with the game. I just found out that firebug was slowing my access time, so, I've disabled it until I actually need to use it.
I don't know what hardware you're using, but, as the game was loading, I noticed that it was loading into memory. You might need more memory in order for it to run properly. But here I'm just guessing.
sorry but like i said im just starting out
sudo apt-get remove --purge flashplugin-nonfree
