I am still mourning the death of Adobe Flash. I guess newgrounds still exists but it has nowhere near the amount of cultural relevancy and userbase that it did in its heyday. Legend of Zelda: The Lampshade of No Real Significance is still one of my fav RPG’s I’ve ever played and I miss it dearly.
I also miss Blode/Rathergood so much but I’ve never met anyone who knows what that is so if you do please help me feel less like it was a childhood fever dream of mine. The annihilation of Flash permanently memory holed many of my core childhood online experiences and I’m still pissed about it!!!

Do you ever think about the silly flash games you played when you were younger and think "damn, I wish I could play it again?". NOW YOU CAN & THIS IS YOUR SIGN!!
Flashpoint Archive is a community-run archive that was born in the years leading up to Adobe Flash's demise in 2020. In the span of those few years, people searched the corners of the internet and saved as much Flash media as humanly possible-- they have about 150,000 games saved, not including the other pieces of media in their archives.
You can look up games in their search engine and using the Ruffle emulator (or the Flashpoint API) you can play all the games you missed :)
NOTE: Some of the games are non-functional, but the .swf are saved in the Archives for preservation. The Flashpoint community is still alive & well, and they have a discord server for anyone looking to contribute/hang out/give feedback!

kinda basic but truly what a fun game. I dabbled in a lot of those multiplayer websites when I was wayyy too young (parents didn’t care abt internet restriction; I’m the youngest child in my fam) but this was just the best. My brother and I used to wait until midnight on holidays to see what the drops would look like. Learned vaguely about sex and bullying and surfing, as much as the website allowed at least. My friend the other day sent me a meme that had a pic of the lighthouse and I felt genuine nostalgia. When it shut down, I dabbled in the legacy ”mod” and have been thinking about getting back into it 🤔 a trip down memory lane!
