    Worse when it’s a flash game, as I understand they’re all dead now.

    I just want to play the unknown snowboarding game with all the little hills to jump on again. Well that and the ever classic Kitten Cannon.

        Gonna try this but one of the games I really liked was actually delisted from popular flash sites back in the day and I forgot the name because it was a fictional fantasy single word title.

        Lost it long before flash died, and I can only assume it was because the creator had requested a takedown which is really weird.

        There’s a few I remember which aren’t on here. Nicktrolpolis is one of them. But it’s consider all the other obscure games which did get preserved it’s amazing.

          Try describing it to AI. From my experience, AI chats are pretty good in finding games, movies etc based on poor description, just ask for short list of game names so it will not write you essay about how old games are better. You can also describe it here

            But be ready for disappointment, because at least ChatGPT is bad with obscure media, and even makes stuff up regularly.

        Emulating Flash in HTML tech wasn’t a problem for a long time already, but from what I can tell there are no tools for creating such animation that could rival Flash’s popularity from back in the day. People are probably just using dedicated game engines that can target browsers.

      a few months ago on a nostalgia trip I found a playable kitten cannon, I don’t remember where. I think I was looking up new grounds or addicting games and found the website through a Wikipedia link.

      this, there was a flash game where you are an evil genius. you have a base which you can later upgrade to a volcano or a moon base. you send agents to kidnap politicians or other villanous schemes. there were segments where your base was attacked and you had to use your resources to defend it.

      overall an amazing game. never found it again :(
