WHO ELSE MISSES FLASH GAMES!?

Forum: Games

so, as many of u probably know, adobe flash officially ended back in january, so almost 4 months ago. this resulted in many online games ran by adobe flash ending and not being accessible anymore. so sad!!


like many ppl who were growing up, whether it was in the 2000s or the 2010s (i grew up in the late 2000s and early 2010s), flash games were a HUGE part of my childhood back in the day! many of the gaming websites that i was obsessed w/ consisted of disney, poptropica, cartoon network, nickelodeon, gamepost, club penguin, cool math games, and miniclip. i also remember playing a few bratz, barbie, my little pony g3, and polly pocket games as a child, very bizarre ik!!

many ppl who grew up in the early 2000s remember many y2k gaming websites such as addicting games, neopets, everything girl, gaia online, dollz mania, webkinz, and girls go games. unfortunately, i was never able 2 live up 2 those gaming sites, as they must've slipped under my radar as a kid, so i never rlly had a fondness 4 those websites.

but anyway, back on topic, flash has disappeared and it is v v disappointing. online gaming will never b the same ever again, i don't think, unfortunately.

however, this doesn't mean that flash gaming is over. hopefully an alternative 2 flash will come out soon, and we'll get 2 relive our childhood again @ sum point.

thanks 4 listening 2 me rant, and i wanna know what u guys think? do u think an alternative 2 flash will come our way? if not, is there a way 2 access our fav childhood games? if so, let me know. we will find a way 2 relive our childhood, i just know it!

ilusm!! ๐Ÿ’‹๐Ÿ’‹

I also miss them bro. Do anyone remember the Mario Bros remake made with flash? The one that made possible to play as the contra guy, samus, simon belmont, megaman. Super Mario Crossover! Meat Boy and the binding of isaac! And a lot of flash games too.

I once played a Flash game based on the Star Wars: Rogue Squadron trilogy called Star Wars: Rogue Squadron Flash Edition and it was a lot of fun! Those were the days.

Odd story, but the first time I heard the song 'Melissa' from FMA was when I played a flash game called 'Final sonic fantasy 5' (or something like that), it was like a rpg story game about sonic, for that one in particular you played as supersonic with a red sword fighting some dungeon guardian or something, it was weird, always lost, but kept playing lol.


There was also that one Sonic custom character maker flash game that I would spend hours makign characters on.

I don't exactly miss them because I use flashpoint to play my favorites every now and then, my favorite ones were the ones Stickdeath and Abobo's adventure on Newgrounds.

I remember this one pacman website I would go to when I was REAL young. It had all sorts of things on it, a news page, various fan animations, and, of course, flash games.


There was a classic pacman clone, kind of in the typical flash game style. There was this ninja themed platformer where you were a ninja pacman going through various levels and collecting dots, and I remember this kind of 3D looking halloween themed pacman game where you go through various mazes in a haunted mansion type environment.


I kinda miss that website. It was a part of my earliest obsession lol.

Omg yeah as someone born in the early 2000s I LOVED Flash Games. I remember Poptropica. I also loved the Henry Stickmin games, Super Mario 63, Riddle School, etc... thankfully Ruffle exists although weirdly enough while I miss that era I don't really use Ruffle much to play them anymore. Kind of like I've moved on, even though I miss them. I guess it's because I less-so miss them and more-so miss how it felt back then... then again though Henry Stickmin and Mario 63 both got remakes of sorts in the form of the Henry Stickmin Collection and Super Mario 127. There's also the Papa games, like Papa's Freezeria which got some deluxe version on Steam.

It's nice to see that some of those creators are still around upgrading their games to still be played to this day... I'll forever miss Flash though.

There are many flash game archival sites that use Ruffle, a flash player alternative, that you can play your favorite games on.

you can still play them with flashpoint infinity. or if you want, you can go track down an existing adobe flash install that doesn't self destruct itself and be able to play flash games through there.

pale moon browser lets you do that iirc

The amount of time I spent playing Flash games when I was little was insane. I would play countless hours of Happy Wheels and all these other games I probably shouldn't of been playing but did lol. I also used to play that one zombie game where you're in a car and you have to see how far you can get, you can upgrade your car and all that. Also played a lot of Newground's games. So many memories just sitting at the computer just playing Flash games.ย

Flashpoint is the best current way to play flash games, it is a local thing. The reason flash died is a mix of Apple and security issues. It could've been fixed but judging by it's end Adobe didn't want to, which is fair because it's been surpassed (tech wise) by lots of stuff at this point

You can still play flash games directly on some sites. Andkon arcade has a guide on theirs on running the Blue Moon browser with an older flash version to get their games running.

i was so disappointed while discovering it, honestly it was like another part of my childhood was taken away from me. right now iโ€™m pretty thankful i could find some alternatives online to be able to play some games like papaโ€™s games and way more, but i do still miss the old way!

I still play a lot of my old favorites pretty regularly, but I still really miss that era.ย  It always felt special hopping on Kongregate, Newgrounds, or Armor Games and seeing what new games were out, or finding old gems I had never seen before.

Newgrounds was a big part of my younger years. I was given a copy of Macromedia Flash when I was 11 or 12 and I spent most of my middle-school and high-school years messing around with it making games and animations.
