A psuedo gameboy style fantasy console with restrictions on what can be displayed on screen but not necessarily the cart size. You'll find so many well done games for the Pico 8 that at times it could rival games that have released in recent years. Definitely Hannah and the Pirate Caves , although the only way I know of to play it these days is through Flashpoint.

The level editor allows for an unbelievable amount of design creativity in custom-built caves: that forum I linked has a database of around levels —many of which are freakishly complex, like " You Have to Burn the Rope , a send up of Portal, in that you have to follow directions to complete the game, and then a little song would play at the end.

Naturally, it was a hit. It's a rather novel concept, imo. Slime volleyball was the flash GOAT. Unfortunately, the later stages of the game can not be found in preserved versions of the game. Help a layman understand: so Jan 1st any and all Flash content, either on the web or on my HDD, will just suddenly not function anymore like a light switch got flipped?

Therefore, Adobe will continue to prompt users to uninstall Flash Player and strongly recommends that all users immediately uninstall Flash Player.

All of the Nitrome games, they were incredibly polished compared to any other flash games at the time and fun to play. I'd guess the bright graphics were also really attractive to child myself too. Mine personally were taking away some of the more well-known ones : Gravitee 2 Basically a game of celestial golfball.

Had a level editor, which was quite fun. Basically a game where you clump up small meteors into bigger meteors to destroy stuff. Ribbit A game where a rabbit and frog are fused together and need to bounce like a pogo to the end. Frost bite A mountain climbing platforming game. Sushi cat A game where you need to eat sushis quickly.

Chisel A game where you drill through the planet enough times to move to the next level man, I had some weird gameplay preferences.

Raccoon racing A power-up racing game I remember playing quite a bit. Here's a shortlist of my favorites. The Impossible Quiz : Easily my favorite Flash game ever, much of my younger years were spent working through this and its sequels.

Its wordplay-themed nature, mixed with some truly devious puzzles my favorite of which required abusing the right-click Flash popup as a bridge , made for a truly memorable game. There's four games in the series, but I have the strongest memories of the Forest Temple levels. Bloons Tower Defense 5 : One of the most popular Flash games amongst my friends from back in the day, this line of games has near-completely transitioned to mobile.

Being able to make accounts and log into them from within the Flash blew my elementary-school brain. Super Smash Flash : Smash? In Flash? I have no idea how this pair of games somehow snuck under the Big N's copyright-dar.
