I remembered when flash ‘died’ and thought all of that was just lost history. Turns out there are translation layers that sites (e.g., new grounds) are running, and you can run flash games of the 2000s on your phone today. Kind of crazy that a) I’m still able to see flash uploaded in 2000 and b) I remember some of the games now, 26 years later.
It’s super useful for finding stuff from sites that have went offline or no longer have their flash games sections.
Newgrounds was the GOAT, but before that I had put countless hours into the games hosted by Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, Lego, Nabisco, etc.
It also supports more than just Flash, so you can use it for those fancy old Shockwave games too!
Oh absolutely other platforms too! I just happened to write that up at ~3am, so I was half asleep at best :D
Funnily enough, but at a previous job I worked roughly 2 miles away from their headquarters in Glenside. Blew my mind to know I was so close to a key building block of the late 90’s / early 00’s internet history.
